AMOK/TJOUJMT
2020

An experimental pattern- and projection-based video installation developed in collaboration with Leila Mnekbi. 

Overwhelming visuals paired with a poetic questionnaire performed in formal Arabic and English gives  examiners a pause of reflection and meditation amidst the pressure and chaos of the inner city's rollercoaster.


Queer Code
Online Workshops
2020
The online workshop “Queer Code: LGBTIQ+ Language in Tunisia and Beyond" opened dialogue about queer identity and expression in Tunisia.

Through both the local and global lens, led by creative writing and drawing exercises, international participants discussed the local chakchouka of language and lexicon.

Where do certain words come from? How do we use them and why?

Curatorial
2019-2020*

A collectively curated international exhibition slated to open in March 2020 at heritage site Ennejma Ezzahra.
