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.

Mobile Serigraphie
The Making Of (Dev + Workshops)
2019-2020

A highly-DIY project that transformed the silkscreen printing technique, typically limited to commercial production in Tunisia, to a process of creation accessible to all people, any time, any place.

Through the creation of a sérigraphie station on wheels, the project reappropriated everyday public spaces to become sites of inspiration, experimentation, and expression.
