  • Acequia: A Walk up the Zarka Valley

    The Zarka Valley features a well-maintained acequia system that effectively distributes water from the Zarka spring, allowing fields to flourish with corn and livestock fodder. The government has refurbished canals, and terraced fields prevent runoff. Medicinal herbs and oleander thrive along the edges, enhancing the valley’s agricultural vitality.

  • Acequia: Printmaking at Green Olive Arts

    In Summer 2022, during a project in Tetouan, Morocco, we explored Acequias’ living history while collecting local plants. We created prints using a plexiglass press method, incorporating an anthotype process with turmeric. This allowed for dual-color impressions while ensuring plant material was moist to prevent damage during printing.
