"Patrol to the South" is a humanitarian journey undertaken by the clown Ahmed Baqbouq, spanning over twenty years, aimed at providing cultural entertainment in desert regions.

Since 2000, Baqbouq has traveled using public transport to reach the depths of the Sahara Desert every autumn and spring. He prepares his bag filled with puppets and his simple clownish costume. The project seeks to explore the social and psychological impact of Baqbouq's journeys on the children and the regions he visits. It is directly connected to his theatrical background, which he has practiced for many years, and aligns with his artistic practices, focusing on the human aspects and using visual art as a means of documenting life and expressing social issues. The project attempts to explore the challenges and factors of the clown's journey, as he travels thousands of kilometers to bring joy to children through visual imagery. It highlights the humanity of these children and the strong will of Baqbouq the clown to overcome the challenges he faces during his journey to provide entertainment in these regions. I see visual art as a means to reach hearts and minds, which aligns with my artistic vision that focuses on the impact of art in improving awareness and promoting communication between different communities.
