Mohamed and I with Nour-Eddine. The seed was planted for this collaborative show during our field research with Nour-Eddine during our Fund For Teachers Fellowship, SalaamChicagoHelloMarrakech.

The Collaborative Concurrence Shop:

Welcome to the Collaborative Concurrence Shop! My name is Shana Pearlmutter and I am a visual artist, artistic collaborator and arts educator in Chicago. The work for sale in this shop is the result of 3 years of ongoing collaboration with artists, storytellers and thinkers in the US & Morocco. The body of this work was in a comprehensive collaboration show at Uncommon Ground, 2019. In the spirit of building community via the nuances of shared artistic language, these works connect to human spirit, imagination and hope.

Moroccan art sales will go back to Moroccans. COVID-19 has devastated the tourist trade in Morocco and every little bit helps to sustain their livelihood. Thank you to my husband, Mohamed Danja for your help!

Shana will donate 20% of all sales of her work made with artists in the US to the Marrakech Artisan Fund. Marrakech Artisans have given so much to the world and been one of Shana's biggest artistic teachers in the past 15 years. This fund was created by Nora Fitzgerald and friends in Marrakech to provide financial assistance during this devastating time.

Interested in a piece! Thank you. Email me at ohhpearlyn@hotmail.com. I will send you my Paypal and Venmo links. We will figure out the art handover then! We thank you for your support.

The seed was planted for this artistic collaboration while working, learning and sharing time with Nour-Eddine during our Fund For Teachers, 2014 cross-cultural research fellowship, SalaamChicagoHelloMarrakech. We started with calligraphy and zouaq lessons, but soon learned there was a common language of art that no words can touch!
