WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE _ is the overarching theme of the TASAWAR PROJECTS 2022.
CONFERENCE | EXHIBITION | PUBLICATION
The series of practice fields of the TASAWAR CURATORIAL STUDIOS is dedicated to the questions of how artists engage with possible futures in times when doubts about the future are increasingly urgent. Climate change, violence, and war, poverty, and hunger are only a few of the problems that do not invoke sufficient action. The series of activities collects and presents voices of the arts that engage with present and future needs.

Where Do We Go From Here?
On possible futures
From 28 to 31 July 2022, in the evening from 8:00 pm to Midnight, a selection of different media artworks will be on display in BIR LAHJAR in the Medina of Tunis. Access is free for all audiences.
Participating Artists
The TASAWAR COLLECTIVE invited artists that address the future as a potential of the present. In different ways, and with different perspectives and formats; the exhibition looks at how we can speculate upon the future of our habitat. Each curator brings a different angle from disparate artists who explore a certain possible narrative interrogating the “here” state and its outcome and impact on nature, habitat, and environment. The curated collection of media artworks laces an itinerary that takes visitors on a journey to reflect and question issues and topics that stretch from our current present to the possibility of affecting our daily lives.
The TASAWAR Media Art Project will take place in parallel with the INTERFERENCE YOUNG MASTERS Exhibition. It is supported by the Goethe-Institut Tunis.
