https://video.rhizome.org/videos/watch/9ed0483b-e761-46c1-91fd-7a7508429f6a Narrated by an animated crocodile, Meriem Bennani’s recent film "Party on the CAPS" is a docunarrative exploring the robust, technologically advanced, and totally hybridized culture of a fictional island in the Atlantic Ocean called The CAPS. The film follows residents of a Moroccan neighborhood on the island–who, like all of the CAPS’ inhabitants, are refugees rejected by the United States—as they hang out, party, and otherwise go about their lives in this speculative society. Blending science-fiction and geopolitical realities, Party on the CAPS addresses immigration, surveillance, the real and the virtual, and globalized culture with humor and empathy. Following on from an exhibition of the work as an installation at the Stoschek Collection in Berlin, Rhizome presented an online screening of "Party on the CAPS" followed by a conversation between the artist and Rhizome editor and curator Aria Dean. Please note that this video does not include "Party on the CAPS," only the conversation related to it.
