The Zizi School launched its classes in 2020. Encouraging philosophizing, the School holds classes in the spaces that bring together earth and cosmos, monster and monster, reality and fiction. The magic is in listening. Sitting under a tree or hanging by its branches, mutually tickling with desert sands, wandering, staring aimlessly, writing, stepping away from noise and distraction, we seek the depths of our questions, even if terrifying or silly. The imagination is a limitless horizon.
Repeat with the Zizi:
Ana karshee kbeer w bahibbuh kteer | Ana karshee kbeer w bahibbuh kteer | Ana karshee kbeer w bahibbuh kteer
* The Zizi School in its 1st , 2nd and 3rd editions was realised in collaboration with Aman Space.
A salute to our guests: Layla Feghali for sharing her plant-magic wisdom, Samah Hijawi for opening windows to the cosmos, Paola Farran for the emotional and logistical support in wild camping, Omran AlAmareen for hosting us on his ancestral lands, Ard Organic Regenerative Farm for adding family to our wild, Anastasia Kordari for using her puppeteering charm to give life to the school puppets.
The School gives gratitude to the bird, the tree, the butterfly and the mushroom, offers a salute to the presence, felt and unfelt, of all the creatures, fauna and flora, dead and alive, charmed, moon, sun, water springs, and the winds, thank you all for being our companions and our guides on our wanderings.
