“4000 Km Untitled” Artistic Bootcamp 

“4000 Km Untitled” is an artistic bootcamp aimed at valorizing the African identity through performing and visual arts. The program ran from February 5th to 12th, 2024, at the “No Name” artistic studio lab in Gabes, gathering 5 artists from various regions of Tunisia.

During this period, multiple issues were addressed focusing on artistic mediums (body, sound, and light) and research studies, with the aim of exploring the political, economic, social, environmental, and historical impacts affecting the lives of African continent residents, particularly those heading towards the North of the Mediterranean Sea. The initiative also critiques colonial-imposed governance systems and borders that negatively impacted universal human rights. It highlights the shared natural resources and intangible heritage between the North and South of the African continent.

Through artistic efforts and field research, an artistic presentation was embodied to translate the dark reality of migration and its ensuing forms of exclusion and discrimination.
