Philosophers From Tunisia

"My point is rather that we have to deal with a very complex configuration in which local interpretations of decoloniality should match our understanding of ourselves."

"This is not to say that all the difficulties one can face in this task are related to this specific anchorage as if it were something preventing us from adopting this particular scheme"

"This means that decoloniality has not to be adopted and applied only because it IS decoloniality, but instead it has to be carefully read, subverted, and if needed, dismissed."

"I am particularly motivated to promote the work of Tunisian and North African contemporary artists who live in their countries, and don’t have enough international visibility."

"In an Arabo-Islamic country, it is important that artists remind and highlight the importance of the body in the private, social, and cultural life."

"This recent spectacular growth on the number of art students has certainly boosted the interest for art-related events but not necessarily produced more quality artists on the national and international scene yet"

"That is why today, an intercultural event around the concept of the limits and excesses of the body can give food for thought on our present."
