Kul 3am (NYFWA)

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?

Haya Bismillah
2020
︎︎︎A dialogical text discussing the value of food beyond physical nourishment, written for El Warcha Collaborative Design Studio.

The sharing of bread remains a practice of meal as ritual, one that grows and sustains our social bond. No one eats alone.

Code of Being
Installation
2019
Linking art, craft, and language, this collection of screenprints on found fabrics demonstrates the beautiful complexities of El Hafsia beyond el fripe through the valorization of everyday elements of the social and built environment.

Motifs from the eclectic houma, abundant in architectural forms and decorative styles, in conjunction with the ongoing dialogue between members of the community, create the visual language in Code of Being.
