STATEMENT

My work delves into the profound impact of oppression and the systematic killing of a nation, revealing the unyielding spirit of resistance that arises in response. Through my art, I explore how such acts of violence and subjugation serve not to silence the voices, but to ignite a flame of defiance and resilience. Each piece is a testament to the unbreakable will of those who refuse to be erased, capturing the transformation of pain into power, and mourning into a call for justice.

SEE DJERBA YOUNG MASTERS

This year’s YOUNG MASTERS have been prepared for the first public art activities in a boot camp in Gabes in cooperation with DANCERS CITIZENS SOUTH. The long-term cooperation with DANCERS CITIZENS SOUTH — home in Gabes — and SEE DJERBA Media Art Project — located in Houmt Souk — is a pioneering initiative to address the imbalance of art and culture opportunities between Tunisia’s capital and its southern regions. Both organizations foster the networking of art and culture organizations in the South, create opportunities for artistic expression, develop talent and resources, and promote cultural decentralization. They feature transdisciplinary collaborations in media art, dance, and music, develop public art projects to revitalize southern urban spaces and provide mentoring and funding programs for emerging southern artists. In various co-operations, they seek to nurture and amplify southern Tunisia’s unique voices and creativity, where art and culture initiatives have historically been less prevalent. It nurtures a thriving arts scene in the south, celebrating local heritage while embracing contemporary forms of expression.
