THE 7TH EDITION OF JAOU TUNIS 2024 : AN EXPLORATION OF ‘RESISTANCE AS THE DEEPEST FORM OF LOVE’
From October 9 to November 9, 2024, the Tunisian capital resonated with the pulse of the seventh edition of Jaou Tunis, a biennale of contemporary art that embraces dialogue, fosters transnational solidarity, and challenges established narratives. For one month, Tunis will showcase its status as a cultural hub, hosting exhibitions, performances, and discussion meetings.
Founded by the Kamel Lazaar Foundation in 2012 and co-organized in partnership with the French Institute since 2022, Jaou Tunis has emerged as an important platform for artists and cultural practitioners from Tunisia and beyond. It serves as a bridge that unites local and international creators, fostering critical reflections on universal themes and celebrating the transformative power of cultural métissage.
In its seventh edition, Jaou Tunis unfolded under the theme 'Art, Resistance, and the Reconstruction of Futures.' Over the month-long celebration, the city evolved into a pulsating hub of cultural convergence,
featuring nine exhibitions, nine performances, nine debates, and the contributions of over 60 artists from across the Global South.
Jaou Tunis is an initiative of the Kamel Lazaar Foundation in partnership with the French Institute of Tunisia with the additional support from the Tunisia Development Foundation.
