Communities Between Islands is a traveling artist residency project dedicated to research and exchange with local communities, organized by three cultural associations on three Mediterranean islands: Cherimus in Sardinia (Italy), Providenza in Corsica (France), and the Archipelago Network in Syros (Greece).
Its concept reflects the need to overcome the difficulties common to the three islands, linked to the geographical barriers that keep them isolated from the main European circuits of contemporary art.

In order to tackle the difficulties of art production in islands in reaching beyond their local territory, the project activates a transnational artists residency, where every artist invited will spend time in each of the three islands in order to produce works based on their experience of the cultural and natural traits of the places visited. Whereas virtually all existing art residencies are based in one single place, this approach will allow the artists to participate in a journey materially anchored in the history, culture and landscapes of insular Mediterranean.

Alongside these organizations, three art and cultural institution of these Islands will support the spreading of the results of the project through exhibitions, presentations and workshop: Museo Nivola, FRAC Corsica and Syros Film Festival.

The project is divided into three cycles of residencies over two years (2023-24). For each cycle, three artists will each develop a project related to the cultural and natural specificities of the three locations, exploring their riches and their common challenges.
At the end of each cycle there will be a public presentation of every artist’s research and later on an exhibition or public event showing the art pieces produced during the residency.

The partnership of the project include also the municipality of Bastia, Corsica and Perdaxius, Sardinia.
Communities Between Islands is a Creative Europe project written by Cherimus and funded by European Commission and Fondazione di Sardegna.

“Untraced Passages” è il titolo del primo ciclo di residenze del progetto Communities Between Islands.
Gli artisti del primo ciclo sono stati selezionati da Archipelago Network e hanno viaggiato tra Corsica e Sardegna concludendo il loro percorso a Syros nel mese di settembre 2023.

Elke Marhöfer, con il progetto ‘Exploring resilience: revisiting practices of wilderness’ (‘Esplorare la resilienza: una rilettura delle pratiche della natura’), si concentra su forme tradizionali di relazione all’ambiente per immaginare un futuro post energie fossili.

Con il lavoro ‘Resonant Rehearsal’ (Ripetizioni risonanti) Latent Community esplora gli effetti dell’inquinamento e delle attività delle industrie turistiche, militari e marittime sugli equilibri sociali ed ecologici delle tre isole.

Marianne Fahmy, con il film Laws of the Ruins (Le leggi delle rovine) sviluppa una ricerca sulle strutture idriche locali, antiche e moderne, come espressione di più ampi cambiamenti sociali e politici.

Exploring Resilience. Revisiting Practices of Wilderness

Rather than triggering dystopian feelings of shrinkage and fear in the face of a world without fossil fuels, Elke Marhofer aims to explore potentials of space for other-than-fossil-fuel perspectives. During her residency, the artist looks into a not-so-distant past, seeking to rediscover moments of indigenous and/or traditional ecological knowledge in consensus with the environments, such as chestnut culture in Corsica, the foraging of mushrooms and other edibles in Sardinia, and dry-wall farming in Syros. Working with local foragers, farmers, biologists and activists, the project aims to visit distinct vegetation zones on the islands with their variously disturbed environments, explore their current state of resilience and create awareness for the vulnerability of fragile environments.

Elke Marhofer studied Fine Art at SAIC Chicago and ISP Whitney Museum of American Art. Her work investigates ecological practices for human and nonhuman communities. She was awarded a PhD and Postdoc at Kyoto University, Japan. Her films were screened at the Flaherty NYC, Jeu de Paume Paris, Courtisane Ghent, Cinematek Brussels, Stockholm, Toronto & Tokyo, transmediale Berlin, BFI London, Berlinale Berlin, IFFR Rotterdam, Images Festival Toronto, Berlinische Galerie, Showroom London, Kyiv Biennale, Kaohsiung Taipei, Badischer Kunstverein, FCAC Shanghai, MFA Houston.

Latent Community
Resonant Rehearsals

On all three islands Latent Community engage in extensive fieldwork and collaboration with local communities, environmental activists, and scientists focusing on how pollution and activities of the tourist, military and maritime industries affect social and ecological equilibriums in unpredictable ways. By listening to diverse voices and rendering images of damaged environments, they aim to map the polyphony of the liquid connections between Corsica, Sardinia and Syros. Their approach lies in repurposing military-developed sonic and image capturing technologies from extractivist surveillance devices into artistic tools for active stewardship and protection of endangered ecosystems and communities.

Latent Community is the interdisciplinary artist duo by visual artists and filmmakers Sotiris Tsiganos and Ionian Bisai. They work with the moving image in research-based projects as a tool to explore issues of social, political and ecological justice. Their interdisciplinary practice integrates extensive fieldwork with relational strategies and performative sequences as means to render forgotten memories, to amplify unheard voices and to explore overlooked ecosystems. Their work has been presented in various forums, including the Athens Biennale (2017), Documenta 14 – Public Programs (2017), Thessaloniki Documentary Festival (2020), Mediterranea 19 (2021), 23rd Sydney Biennale (2022).

Marianne Fahmy
Laws of the Ruins

During the residency, Marianne Fahmy expands her research on marginalized narratives related to sea and water. Coming from Alexandria, a city that has drowned numerous times throughout history, the artist seeks to address the criticality of the city’s current situation due to climate change. By investigating various water structures both ancient and modern on all the three islands that reflect political and social changes, she aims to question and bring to light different approaches and knowledge systems in order to secure a sustainable future for the islands, while raising historical consciousness about their past existence.

Marianne Fahmy lives in Alexandria, Egypt, and works primarily with installation and film. She deploys past and current narratives into potential futures that oscillate between fiction and reality. Through her video, photography, sculpture, and mixed media works, she takes on the role of a new historicist, using parafiction to deconstruct the social and political issues of the present. Her work has been presented at Sharjah Biennale 2023, 7th Yokohama Triennial (2020), Manifesta 13 (2020), Towner International (2020), Mediterranea 19 Young Artists Biennale (2020), Havana Biennale (2019), and Dakar Biennale (2018), “Alexandria” group show at MUCEM and Bozar Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels (2022).

Storie Alternative
Workshop di Marianne Fahmy, Museo Archeologico “Ferruccio Barreca” di Sant’Antioco

In italiano la Storia con la S maiuscola e la storia personale di ognuno si scrivono e si pronunciano allo stesso modo. Il dialogo tra il patrimonio storico archeologico del museo e le nostre memorie personali o familiari è al centro del laboratorio tenuto dall’artista visiva Marianne Fahmy. I partecipanti al laboratorio hanno visitato il museo in un modo completamente nuovo, intessendo un rapporto con i reperti e la propria memoria, personale o familiare, attraverso gli strumenti dell’arte, come il disegno o la scrittura. L’artista ha seguito e guidato il percorso di creazione di queste Storie Alternative che insieme hanno creato una storia tutta nuova fatta di personaggi e avventure tra passato e presente.

Questo laboratorio è organizzato in collaborazione con il Museo Archeologico “Ferruccio Barreca” di Sant’Antioco.

Il secondo ciclo di residenze di «Community Between Islands» si intitola «Woven by the Currents» (Intessuti dalle correnti) e ha avuto come protagoniste tre artiste: Dania Shihab, compositrice nata in Iraq (vive e lavora tra Spagna e Australia), la videomaker Sarah-Anaïs Desbenoit (Francia) e l’artista visiva Amalia Vargas (Corsica).
Partendo da Syros in Grecia (6 – 15 maggio), hanno fatto tappa a Perdaxius in Sardegna (16 – 26 maggio), prima di raggiungere la Corsica (27 maggio – 11 giugno).
A Perdaxius, Domusnovas e Carbonia hanno condotto laboratori ispirati alla loro ricerca sui miti, sulla figura femminile, sull’ecologia e sui temi dell’immigrazione, profondamente radicati nel contesto mediterraneo.
Una presentazione finale svoltasi alla Casa del popolo di Carbonia ha permesso al pubblico di scoprire la loro ricerca e il processo di realizzazione delle loro nuove opere.
Al termine delle 5 settimane di residenza si è svolta una restituzione al pubblico nella forma di una mostra allo spazio Una Volta, Bastia (Corsica).


I dieci giorni in Sardegna sono stati davvero intensi. Le artiste Sarah-Anaïs Desbenoit (video artista), Dania Shihab (compositrice) e Amalia Vargas (artista visiva) hanno viaggiato per il Sulcis-Iglesiente da Sant’Antioco a Domusnovas, da Funtanamare a Montessu, raccogliendo oggetti, immagini, suoni e storie.

Hanno incontrato musicist3, ingegner3, student3 e hanno aperto la loro pratica artistica alla condivisione, al dialogo con le comunità locali, anche attraverso workshop e presentazioni nelle scuole e nella Casa del Popolo di Carbonia, negli spazi dell’Associazione Elda Mazzocchi Scarzella di Domusnovas e nei boschi intorno a Perdaxius.

Un grazie speciale a Francesco Capuzzi, Matteo Leone, Brahim Khamlichi, Emilia Brunoro, Marinella Pintus, Pietro Sabiu, Istituto S. Satta (Carbonia) e Ottovolante Sulcis (Sant’Antioco).

Sarah-Anaïs Desbenoit

This project explores the myths and beliefs engendered by landscapes.
Within the three islands, I’d like to meet with locals to learn more about the stories and myths that relate to the landscapes that surround them. With a particular focus on stories about women.
I’d also like to learn more about the symbolism of the places within the territories where we’ll be staying.

Dania Shihab

The project intends to catalogue sounds from the Islands, from a uniquely immigrant perspective. How does one perceive sounds in an entirely new environmental context? How does a stranger, being an involuntary flâneur in a foreign land, create a sonic map of a new terrain? I’m interested in how virgin sounds relate with those nostalgic vestiges of an abandoned homeland, in creating a new hybrid soundscape. I plan to capture these sounds, using a variety of recording techniques to create a final long form electroacoustic composition, using field recordings, live audio manipulation from found objects, voice and organic instrumentation.

Amalia Vargas
Ecume des flux

Characterised by a certain ambiguity between the ancient and the modern, the three
islands hosting the residency evoke sculptural forms that emerge from objects present on
each territory. Which objects do Syros, Sardinia and Corsica have in common? Plastic
residues washed ashore by the waves may point a way. In the course of my three
voyages, The artist gathered found objects and, taking inspiration from the traditional forms
and architectures of the islands (such as caryatids or balusters), create an archaeology/
archive of our time.

The last residency of the Common Places A.i.R. cycle. saw the artists of Collectif Kahraba as guests.

Founded in 2007, Collectif Kahraba is a performing arts company comprising artists and technicians from different walks of life who firmly believe that art is a pathway for dialogue and openness. Thanks to a growing network of actors, writers, stage directors, photographers, puppeteers and dancers, brought together by the will to exchange tools and knowledge and to meet the audience, Collectif Kahraba poetically questions the world in which we evolve. With over 18 productions that tour regularly across Lebanon and internationally, Collectif Kahraba initiated “Us, the Moon & The Neighbours” in 2011; a free, multi-disciplinary festival. With 6 editions, the festival managed to position itself as a real platform for collaboration, exchange and encounters amongst audiences and local and international artists. In 2017 Collectif Kahrba takes the artistic direction of Hammana Artist House, a residency space for artists that it co-founded with Robert Eid. With Hammana Artist House, it’s the art of encounter that Collectif Kahraba chooses to put forth as a vehicle to develop the imaginary, curiosity, critical sense, and to contribute, in a shared responsibility, to building a culture of peace.

Totus in pari cun Collectif Kahraba!

In the month preceding the arrival of the Collectif Kahraba artists, a close-knit group of boys and girls from Perdaxius and the surrounding area led by the artists Carlo Spiga and Matteo Rubbi conceived and created a new puppet show from scratch. The protagonists of an incredible story between science fiction and fantasy were born from clay: The fantastic story of Robit12.

During the workshops the screenplay, scenography and soundtrack were born. The premiere of the show took place on September 26, 2022 at the Perdaxius Social Center.

Geologia di una fiaba



“Geologia di una fiaba” is a creative project for young audiences conceived of and interpreted by Aurelien Zouki and Éric Deniaud. The piece combines storytelling, dance, and object and sound manipulation. The central element is clay in layered sheets, in piles, in blocks, in bas-relief, modeled live, etc., giving life to figures and spaces. It is from and through this raw material that the two interpreters build the genealogy of fables and their origins. In order to write their own fables, we know that La Fontaine and Marie de France were inspired by Aesop, who was himself inspired by Persian tales, which most certainly came from India, and so on… probably since the continental drift, perhaps before language became so elaborate. The first fable may have even been modeled from clay. Through oral transmission, these simple wisdoms have been entrusted to us from age to age, territory to territory. The ascension of time and crossing of space reminds us that not so long ago, borders were not defined as they are today. The only things, perhaps, still able to easily cross, are our thoughts and our stories.

Pesaus a contus / كلنا حكايات is part of “On the move! Un teatro in viaggio per il Libano” cooperation project between Cherimus (Sardinia) and Hammana Artist House (Lebanon) financed by the Regione Autonoma della Sardegna.

The project involved eight performing artists based in Lebanon:

Maya Aghniadis, composer e arranger
Sarah Almoneem, performance artist
Patricia Habchy, director
Monà Hallab, soprano
Nivine Kallas, performance artist and director
Tracy Khoueiry, performance artist
Chantal Mailhac, storyteller and musician
Sarah Mashmoushy, performance artist

and two artists based in Sardinia:

Carlo Spiga, visual artist e musician
Sara Deidda, photographer and filmmaker

During an artistic residency at the Hammana Artist House, the artists developed and staged two new performances: “Tarantism”, created and directed by Nivine Kallas and “The longest night of my life”, created and directed by Chantal Mailhac..
Over two intense weeks, artists shared the same spaces, lived in the cozy and welcoming environment of Hammana and activated moments of artistic discussion with the artists of Hammana Artist House, which helped the artists in residence to stage two new performances for the first time.

At the end of the two weeks, the performances had their debut in Hammana with an audience of youg students from the town’s schools. Subsequently the theatre tour continued in Rmeileh, at the “Centre socio éducatif Fratelli” and in Beirut at the Islamic orphanage.

Carlo Spiga collaborated with Nivine Kallas, Sarah Mashmoushy, Sarah Almoneem, and Tracy Khoueiry to create an original score for the performance “Tarantism” using Sardinian traditional and experimental instruments.
Sara Deidda has created a documentary to narrate the project by working closely with the artists, exchanging ideas and engaging with the participants as well as the Hammana staff.

Il documentario “Pesaus a contus / كلنا حكايات was presented for the first time in the Spazio Antas of San Sperate on 27 September 2022.

All the images used on the website are made by Sara Deidda.

“On the move! Un teatro in viaggio per il Libano” also supported the sustainability of the social and artistic initiatives of Hammana Artist House for marginalized communities within Lebanon, in the form of a donation of a powerful rechargeable battery system that will help to run some of the activities that are at ‘present severely hampered by the serious economic and energetic crisis that the country is going through.

Chantal Mailhac and Mona Hallab tell and sing on stage the story of Ba’al, the Phoenician’s “God of the rain, that climbs the clouds and come back with fertility; he lives above the clouds. During his time nature is green, colorful, full of fruits, flowers […]”

The night of the title refers to the winter solstice night, the longest of the year, before days start to be longer again. The tradition contains many points later taken up by Christianity (Jesus’ birth on the solstice and the death/resurrection process). Ba’al later became, as many gods with horns -he is associated with the constellation of Taurus-, one of the enemies of God, one of the ways to represent satan.

This performance wants to revive a story that has deep roots in Lebanese and Levantine history as well as in many places of the Mediterranean Sea, including Sardinia.
In Sardinia the figure of the bull was one of the most widespread in antiquity, and it is the base today for some of the famous masks used for carnival rituals.

Thanks to the histrionic and playful storytelling of Chantal, the voice of Mona, the support of Patricia Habchy for the mise-en-scène and of Maya Aghniadis for the music composition, the legend of Ba’al came back to life and was told and sung in front of the audience of students, children and young adults.

Tarantism is the name of a traditional “magical-religious” music therapy practice once very common in Puglia and in the regions of southern Italy.
The performance by Nivine Kallas, unfolds through a series of scenes narratively centering the human body and its struggle to face present time challenges
As physical narrator and director Nivine Kallas says: “Tarantism is a performance that tackles
an irresistible invitation to move, as a form of expression that can be violent yet therapeutic, now the pain is triggered pushing the body to face it is shadows.”
A complex exchange of glances, a fight, a constant attempt to reconnect, to heal, all through a multifaceted dance, that combine different methods and techniques.
Visual artist and musician Carlo Spiga has developed an unprecedented collaboration with the performers Nivine Kallas, Tracy Khoueiry, Sarah Almoneem, Sarah Mashmoushy and experimented with new ways of using launeddas, trunfa, and throat singing. These three elements are traditional instruments of Sardinian dances. During this residency Carlo Spiga had the chance to build a bridge between “Tarantism” and the Sardinian ritual named “Argia”, connected as well with the bite of a spider (the black widow) and with dance as a therapy practice.
Photographer Sara Deidda is collaborating with the 8 artists in residence as well, thanks to a collaboration with Eja Tv, exploring day by day ways to film the performances and find a way to tell a story through images, rather than merely documenting it.

Okada Buluma (Nairobi, 1982) is a Social Practice Artist.
He is known in Kenya and internationally for the quality of his work on behalf of children and disadvantaged youth. Over the years, Okada has experimented with creative educational methods centred on the needs of children, through the use of games and of playful learning practices.
Cherimus has been collaborating with Okada Buluma since 2014 and together they have realized two major projects funded by the Sardinian Region (in application of the Regional Law of 11 April 1996, n. 19), ‘Ciak! Kibera’ and ‘Carnival! Nairobi.’ The collaboration also led to the creation, in Nairobi, together with Charles Nshimmy, of a wooden statue of Santu Jacu (St James), which was later offered to the community of Perdaxius.

* * *

The residency starts with a visit at Museo archeologico nazionale, Cagliari, through centuries of history and intertwining Mediterranean cultures. Sphinxes and other artifacts found in Sardinia testify to the presence of the cults of Isis and Osiris on the island, while other funerary and quotidian artifacts are very similar to those on display in the museum. The visit continued with the Giants of Mont’e Prama, the sacred models of the nuraghi (ancient Sardinian stone structures), and the beautiful Nuragic bronzes statues.

Workshop by Okada Buluma and Cherimus with a group of people living in the Casa Emmaus’ facility (Iglesias) from Egypt, Tunisia, Albania and Afghanistan.
Okada invited everyone to write or draw something important to them, a memory, a dream. Stories emerged, sometimes linked to moments of the long journey that brought them to Sardinia, the nostalgia and longing for home. They then transformed these reflections into color and painting, and then a map of all their stories.

* * *

Conference “Orizzonti di cooperazione”, Town Hall, Perdaxius
Okada Buluma talked about his professional experience working with and educating kids who live in the streets of Nairobi: the building of a sense of trust through play, the uplifting of each person’s uniqueness and self expression, perseverance, and patience are the ingredients of a process that brought many children off the streets. After Okada spoke, Emiliana Sabiu & Matteo Rubbi, cofounders of Cherimus, talked about the projects Cherimus has developed with Koinonia Community in Nairobi, in which artists, musicians, and educators worked together in the communities of the children who live in the street to represent and give form to their dreams and their futures. Also present at the meeting were various institutional actors and representatives of local area associations who are interested in activating dialogue on the theme of educational poverty, centering the education and growth of all the components of community education: families, teachers, and educators.

* * *

Workshop in collaboration with Elda Mazzocchi Scarzella association, Domusnovas.
Okada, alongside Cherimus, held a workshop for a group of children, exploring the theme of tales and stories as the roots of one’s identity both as individuals and as a community.
Some of the stories centered on the territory of Domusnovas, its caves, its mines, and its mountains. Others were classic fairy tales, and still others tales invented for the workshop. At the end of their time together, these stories, translated into a storyboard of drawings, were lined up and recombined by the children, giving life to a new story. Stories are a living language: they are games; they are the transmission and questioning of knowledge. Our stories grow with us.

For Easter Saturday, Okada Buluma, Emilia Brunoro and Fiammetta Caime worked together to prepare Chapati, a fried unleavened bread very popular in Kenya. As an accompaniment to this bread, ricotta was prepared with excellent thistle honey produced in Perdaxius, Sulcis cheeses and legumes.

Some images of the playful workshop that closed the week of Okada Buluma’s residency. The kids of Perdaxius gifted us with this explosion of colors, creating the shell of an alien dinosaur egg made of their drawings, which was shown to the community at the Park of San Leonardo.
Thank you Comune di Perdaxius for making this possible!
