The Strand Map Mural

Art & Soul Traders · Portsmouth

The Strand Map Mural covers a building face in Southsea, Portsmouth, with a stylised map of Portsea Island. Art & Soul Traders documents its beginnings in 1998, a major restoration in 2010, and continuing additions of local businesses, people, and personal memorials. It is an evolving community project, not a fixed historical street map.

Non-Violence

Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd · Cape Town

Non-Violence, also known as the Knotted Gun, is Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd’s sculpture of a revolver with its barrel tied into a knot. The V&A Waterfront’s public-art account places the Cape Town work outside Radisson RED in the Silo District. It is one local installation of an artwork represented in multiple locations worldwide.

Dans les bras de la terre

Salima Naji · Marrakech

Dans les bras de la terre (In the Arms of the Earth) is Salima Naji’s site-specific architectural installation in MACAAL’s central nave in Marrakech. The museum dates the work to 2024 and connects its earthen construction to craft knowledge, collective work, and the idea of a welcoming house.

Cyborg Archéologie

Aïcha Snoussi · Marrakech

Cyborg Archéologie is Aïcha Snoussi’s site-specific installation at MACAAL in Marrakech. The museum describes a fictional archaeology built from drawing, bodily forms, handwritten signs, and underwater science-fiction imagery. It is an indoor museum work, not a street mural or an archaeological collection.

Crazy Lines

Yassine Balbzioui · Marrakech

Crazy Lines is Yassine Balbzioui’s site-specific installation along MACAAL’s staircase in Marrakech. It combines mural painting, oil paintings on canvas, and sculptural framing. The museum’s 2026 programme lists the installation from 8 February 2026 through 8 January 2027; confirm availability before travelling.
