THE TALKING TREE

Extending the conversations initiated within the Forum, the Arbre à palabres offers an open and accessible space for dialogue, inspired by African traditions of collective exchange. Designed to encourage direct and spontaneous expression, it allows discussions to continue in a more informal and participatory setting.

Organised in partnership with the French Institute of Essaouira, this format brings together artists, speakers, and audiences in a shared space of exchange. Through these encounters, ideas circulate, are questioned, and evolve, making the Arbre à palabres a living forum for dialogue.
