From October 9 to November 9, 2024, the Tunisian capital will resonate with the pulse of the seventh edition of Jaou Tunis, a biennial of contemporary art that embraces dialogue, fosters transnational solidarity, and challenge established narratives. For one month, Tunis will showcase its status as a cultural hub, hosting exhibi- tions, performances, and discussion meetings.

Founded by the Kamel Lazaar Foundation in 2013 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 will unfold under the theme ‘Art, Resistance, and the Reconstruction of Futures.’ Over the month-long celebration, the city will evolve 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.
