What better time to welcome U.S. Ambassador Duke Buchan III and his wife, Hannah, than on the eve of a very special Fourth of July—the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence! 🇺🇸 We were delighted to introduce them to America’s oldest diplomatic property, a gift from one of America’s oldest allies and a living symbol of U.S.–Moroccan friendship. 🇺🇸🇲🇦

On day 5 of his artistic residency, Mouad Aboulhana pursues a patient, meditative exploration of the Legation. Rather than depicting the location, he captures its memory. Traces left on the floor and subtle marks become material to be revealed. Observing becomes listening. Through *frottage*, the site’s imprints emerge like fragments of memory, revealing subtleties that the eye often overlooks. ~~~~ Au cinquième jour de sa résidence artistique, Mouad Aboulhana poursuit une exploration patiente et méditative de l’espace. Au lieu de représenter le lieu, il en capte la mémoire. Les traces laissées sur le sol, les marques discrètes, deviennent matière à révéler. Cette recherche s’inscrit dans une démarche d’attention où observer devient presque écouter. À travers la technique du frottage, les empreintes du lieu émergent comme des fragments de mémoire, révélant une matière discrète que le regard oublie souvent de voir.
