'Le Marche“ Oriental'
James Webb at KZNSALe Marche´ Oriental documents a two-minute intervention inside Cape Town’s disused Oriental Plaza, an apartheid-era shopping mall designed to control Indian trade. On the 4th day of Ramadan, 2008, Sheikh Mogamat Moerat of District Six’s Zeenatul Islam Majid mosque was invited to sing the Azaan inside the empty remains of the building a few weeks prior to its demolition to make way for luxury apartments. Le Marche´ Oriental was commissioned for the 'Jozi & The (M)Other City Project' curated by Carine Zaayman in August 2008 at the Michaelis Gallery in Cape Town.
