While they maintained cultural and religious ties with neighbouring regions, they were not governed by any centralized state.<\/p>\n<p>This relative autonomy shifted in the late 19th century, when Spain established control over the coastal areas, later formalizing the colony as Spanish Sahara. Despite sustained resistance from local tribes, colonial presence endured until the wave of decolonization in the mid-20th century.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1970s, the push for independence intensified in a global context of decolonization and growing demands for self-determination. The United Nations had already recognized the right of the Sahrawi people to decide their future through a referendum. However, when Spain finally withdrew in 1975, that referendum never took place. Instead, the Madrid Agreement transferred control of the territory to Morocco and Mauritania. That same year, Morocco organized the Green March \u2014 the mass entry of civilians into the territory \u2014 beginning an occupation that continues to this day. In 1979, Mauritania withdrew, and Morocco took control of most of Western Sahara.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the territory remains divided by a sand wall of more than 2,700 kilometres \u2014 one of the longest in the world \u2014 while the Sahrawi people continue to wait for a self-determination referendum that has remained unfulfilled for decades.<\/p>\r\n      \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n    \t\t\t\t <\/div><\/div><div class=\"sea-accordion-item\" ><h2 class=\"accordion-tit\"><button class=\"accordion-btn\" type=\"button\" style=\"\">EL PUEBLO SAHARAUI <\/button><\/h2><div class=\"accordion-con\">\r\n\t\t \t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-in\"> \r\n\t\t \t\t\t\t<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The Sahrawi people are the indigenous people of Western Sahara. Of mixed origin\u2014Hassani Arab, Sanhaja Berber, and various sub-Saharan Indigenous populations\u2014their culture is a unique synthesis of Berber African influences, Sahelian Indigenous traditions, and an Arab legacy, shaped over centuries in the desert.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Since the Green March in 1975, a large part of the Sahrawi population has lived in refugee camps in the Algerian desert near Tindouf, waiting for a self-determination referendum that never arrives. The rest live under Moroccan control, separated from their families and their land by the world\u2019s longest sand wall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Despite decades of exile and resistance, Sahrawi culture remains alive: in its music, poetry, craftsmanship, and hospitality. During the Sahara Weeks at C\u00f3digos del Arte, we invite you to discover the Sahrawi people and their history \u2014 to listen, to learn, and to stand with a people who have never stopped fighting for their right to exist.<\/p>\r\n      \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n    \t\t\t\t <\/div><\/div><div class=\"sea-accordion-item\" ><h2 class=\"accordion-tit\"><button class=\"accordion-btn\" type=\"button\" style=\"\">WAYS TO HELP<\/button><\/h2><div class=\"accordion-con\">\r\n\t\t \t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-in\"> \r\n\t\t \t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"70\" data-end=\"528\" class=\"translation-block\">At C\u00f3digos del Arte, we don\u2019t just shine a light on injustice\u2014we work to create a fairer, more just world.
