L’appartement 22 is an independent, collaborative project founded by Abdellah Karroum and based in Rabat, Morocco.
It is the first such space in Morocco, and it has since inspired a number of artist-run spaces and collectives.
Its artist residencies, workshops, lectures, symposia, film and video screenings, and exhibitions resonate in Rabat, throughout the country, and abroad. The art space function as a cooperative inspired by traditional systems when farmers collectively work on extraction of olive oil and its distribution allowing exchange and diversity and transfer of knowledge.
