Faced with the current economic and ecological challenges, MATZA is an artistic manifesto that draws inspiration from the world's arid zones to rethink the nature of our relationships with others and with natural resources. In these fragile contexts where the scarcity of resources calls for strong solidarity, forms of collective intelligence and sustainable management of nature have always been practiced. Models of reciprocity, sustenance and determination have fueled for the past 10 years Swiss artist Séverin Guelpa's work and the MATZA manifesto, mobilizing communities, experts, architects and artists in emblematic locations.
