Rimas [pan]creáticas árabefuturistas

Rimas [pan]creáticas arabefuturistas is a transdisciplinary artistic research project that re-imagines domesticity and territory from a critical perspective, inspired by Afrofuturism and hydrofeminism. It starts from the concept of ecotone as connective tissue – a zone of friction and fertility between ecosystems – and links it to the role of enzymes, which, like ecotones, catalyse transformations: they break down rigid limits and allow new syntheses between bodies, languages and spaces. The pancreas, as a producer of digestive enzymes, functions here as a metaphor for this active mediation.

Through a multidimensional rhyme between architecture, music and experimental poetry, the project connects the contemporary conflicts in Palestine, Lebanon and Israel with the historical memory of Catalonia – in particular, Barcelona – proposing an Arab-futuristic vision that imagines futures of coexistence and transformation beyond geopolitical borders.

This juxtaposition of body, language, food, space and territory mobilises pillars of domesticity in the effort to reorganise memory and the transmission of knowledge in a post-colonial context.

Rasheed Jalloul is a musician, architect, poet and artist. Born in Lebanon and based in Barcelona, his transdisciplinary practice explores, through the musicality of form and the architecture of sound, a vocabulary of inclusive atrophy that defines today's habitat. He obtained a master's degree in Advanced Architecture from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya-BarcelonaTech (UPC) in 2018 and a bachelor's in Architecture from the Lebanese American University in 2015, after pursuing advanced painting studies at the latter's Department of Fine Arts. Self-taught, he has been playing the lute since 2007.
