[under]REPRESNTATION: A Research Residency at Residency 11:11
During the artist’s stay with Residency 11:11, Youcef engaged in research exploring the visibility and under-representations of the North African and Arab diaspora working in visual arts in London and beyond. Though his main focus lied within North African and Arab (under)representations; his research stretched to BAME and Queer art practitioners and their experiences as a whole. During his residency period, and in collaboration with Giulia Shah (visual artist) and Mels Evers (co-curator at Tate Britain), Youcef spent his meeting and speaking with various art practitioners from relevant background to collect information and perceptions while shape a discussion for his final event.
The final event was held at 235HOXTON in East London, where the artist led an open panel-discussion with panel guest British-Caribbean Digital Sculptor Rayvenn Shaleigha D’Clark, with whom he discussed notions around The Black Body & Feminism.
