For the third edition of the Invisible Archives, Moroccan artist Mohamed Fariji (b. 1966, MA) is collaborating with Hôtel du Nord, a cooperative of inhabitants from the northern districts of Marseille. Through the Invisble Archive #3 Faire semblant Faire archive, Mohamed Fariji explores the dense history of Hôtel du Nord that echoes his project of Musée Collectif de Casablanca.
Involved in the exploration of urban myths and collective memory, Mohamed Fariji, develops participatory artistic projects over a long period of time. After a three-week residency hosted by Hôtel du Nord, the artist will present their collaboration and his work on the collective’s archives at Tiers QG for Invisible Archive # 3. This collaboration happens during upcoming local elections and reflects upon “Oh Bonne Maire”, the political story project of Christine Breton, heritage curator and retired Professor of History.
Founded in 2011, Hôtel du Nord cooperative is part of a heritage process initiated by Christine Breton in 1995 in the northern districts of Marseille (13th, 14th, 15th, 16th arrondissements). Hôtel du Nord is a network of around thirty rooms and urban cottages, that promotes hospitality as well as the natural and cultural heritage of Marseille. The heritage walks organised by Hôtel du Nord and their socio-economic model are now being used as an example by the Council of Europe to illustrate their definition of the Faro Convention (convention on the value of cultural heritage).
As an extension of the exhibition, Le Tiers Programme invites you to explore stories and research during meetings and three walks from Noailles (city centre) to the Aygalades (15th district of Marseille).
