The Jaunt () is really excited to bring a new exhibition to Amsterdam! This Thursday (18th of June) we are opening the exhibition ‘Hopeless Horizon’ by the Spanish artist Taquen () at the Hoxton Lloyd hotel in Amsterdam.
For his trip with The Jaunt, Taquen ran the Sahara Marathon near Tindouf, Algeria. The Sahara Marathon is a unique marathon that is organized to raise awesome for the Sharawi refugees who are living in huge refugee camps that are largely unknown to the wider public. The border zone is home to around 170.000 displaced Sharawi refugees spread over five camps and have been living there for more than 50 years.
During his stay in Algeria, Taquen stayed with a local family in the refugee camps, gave workshops to kids in the local school, and amazingly also placed fifth in the actual marathon.
During the exhibition Taquen is presenting a series of drawings and prints inspired by his experiences, and a new book that chronicles his experiences during his week in Algeria.
