A beautifully shot video from Moroccan-Canadian artist Mehdi Bahmad (previously featured here). Featuring the childhood game of telephone, Bahmad invites us to join him in an idyllic universe where nothing is forbidden. The track was written in his father’s village of Aït Zeggane and plays with the racist expression of ‘‘Téléphone Arabe’’ to contrast the future of multiculturalism, plurality, and belonging he wishes for everyone.
