Keason

2017

ln 2014, Bourouissa organised an event called "Horse Day" in the streets of Philadelphia, in partnership with the Fletcher Street Urban Club.

Mohamed Bourouissa invited the "urban riders" to design horse costumes in collaboration with local artists. He documented and prolonged the event through drawings, photographs, a film and hybrid works. The photographic prints on car body parts in Keason recreate the reflections of the African American riders on cars in the city. The work echoes their multifaceted culture and invites the viewer to deconstruct the official history of the conquest of the West linked with the myth of the white cowboy.
