Ecologies of the Sea: Living with Foggy Elements

In “Living with Foggy Elements” Jamila Bargach looks into the ambiguous apprehension of fog, between the idiom of fascination and rejection of it as a phenomenon in the region of the Aït Baâmrane, Anti-Atlas Mountains of Southwest Morocco, and then through the imaginary possibilities fog invites, from melancholy to reverie, to the technology used to capture and trap fog to turn it into water, a life-giving vital source for the dry region of Morocco. The presentation also invites thinking through the historical and political backdrop to drinking water harvested from fog, one that tells more than a story of technical success.
