Tizintizwa Collective

Description

Tizintizwa ("mountain pass of the bees") is a polydisciplinary art and research collective that provides pretexts for collective creation and cross-pollination. Their practice is based on working together and with others, finding consonance in difference and championing heterogeneity in nature and culture. Their work often involves collaborating with agricultural communities, documenting oral literature and ancestral traditions, observing ecological transformations, facilitating cross-regional dialogue and highlighting the importance of transgenerational transmission and the relationship between land and people. In 2019, Tizintizwa initiated AWAL, a collaborative oral heritage archive project which includes a rural residency and a public programme dedicated to documenting, unpacking and curating "oraliture" in Morocco and beyond.
