About this event

Poetry as a way of understanding our shared condition

The « Chair du monde » creative residency brings together poetic writing, images, listening and artistic experimentation. Anchored in a contemporary collection of texts, it uses storytelling to reflect on human vulnerability and on how words can help people regain agency in moments of uncertainty. The project connects literature with performance and encourages encounters among creators, students and cultural practitioners.

An introduction to the creative professions

Its programme includes workshops on composition, sound design, poetic writing, embodied poetry reading and production, as well as literary discussions. The project involves the regional education academy (AREF), Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University, the Dhar El Mehraz Faculty of Letters and the Dialogiques/LACuDis research laboratory. Specific public-session times and eligibility requirements have not been published on the official overview.

Dates and admission

17 October–5 November 2026 at several partner locations in Fes. Not every residency workshop is necessarily open to walk-in audiences. Advance registration, prices and access conditions must be confirmed with the organiser rather than assuming free public entry.
