- Wheatpasted exhibition in the housing estate, posters annotated with Posca paint markers, booklet.
The Rampe Vallée housing estate, officially the Cité des Eucalyptus, sits on the heights of Bab el Oued, near the Casbah. With residents, the mOst team worked through photography and workshops where people wrote on the photos: the soccer field residents built themselves, the view of the sea, the ATVs being fixed up at the foot of the buildings.
The exhibition fully embraced direct participation: residents wrote on the posters with Posca markers, commenting, adding, and reacting. It is long-term work, set to open up to video and sound practices.
