Presentation of the project :
During the confinement, we came across a video of the Minister of Education offering a piece of soap to each student to fight Covid 19. Although affected, we considered this measure insufficient and wanted to help the children to have fun while informing them about the barrier gestures and the spread of the virus. Thus was born Sabouna, the story of two friends transformed into a bottle of hydroalcoholic gel who fight against the virus, that is, the bandit of the class transformed into a virulent monster, in order to protect the class.
For the Culture solidaire exhibition, the Jinn collective recontextualizes their comic strip with a lot of humor and a touch of irony reserved for adults! The staging of the space aims at zooming in on the illegal manufacture and sale of sterilization products such as hydroalcoholic gel, which seems to us to be identical to narcotics.
