URBAN INTERVENTIONS

L’abricocotier and El-Ankaboot reclaimed neglected urban spaces by repurposing the existing characteristics of the locations and the junk suffocating them .
They both rallied communities around the initiative and gave the locations a second life by organizing clean-ups, public workshops, jams and social gatherings. These actions revolved around building structures and setting up interactive installations which turn the location into a landmark.
El-Ankaboot also engaged with the residents and policymakers to communicate our vision of turning neglected plots in the city to cultural , community spaces but lacked the knowledge of how to lobby its way through the bureaucracy.
