The voices of Sidi Harazem
Watch or Listen
From architectural conservation experts, to management stakeholders, members of the global community, and members of the public who were part of Sidi Harazems’ past, Aziza Chaouni Project has been collecting Sidi Harazem’s story. Oral histories from those who were close to J.F. Zevaco or involved with the site’s construction were critical in filling archival gaps and helping the team at Aziza Chaouni Projects build up our understanding of the site.
