Art Exhibition - Meriem Bennani: Life on the CAPS
A contemporary art exhibition featuring two films created by New York-based Moroccan artist and storyteller Meriem Bennani who is known for entertaining use of projection and special effects video.

With themes of migration and displacement the artist’s work asks questions about belonging, public gathering, ownership and resistance. Party on the CAPS film is subtitled (English) with multiple languages spoken throughout. Film length is 25 mins 28 secs.
