L'uzine

This guide to L'uzine in Casablanca starts in 1964 in a small workshop where Abdelaziz Tazi fires up a single foam machine, and reaches back into his earlier life as an underground organizer for Moroccan independence with the Choura and Communist parties alongside Ali Yata. It follows his turn from politics to invention, including the household Tazi brush and the Richbond foam works he founded here in Ain Sebaa, and how he and his wife Touria later gave this same industrial stretch of the city a second life. Listen at the gate, with the old factory grounds still humming just behind you.
