We are seeking students, passionate young artists and creatives to join us on the artistic bootcamp and share there inspirational ideas, learn and exchange. The central objective of this call is to convene a gathering of engaged young artists, creative Tunisian artists, creatives, and designers who share a profound commitment to social and climate justice. Together, their collaborative efforts will give rise to impactful artworks with the potential to seize the attention of decision-makers and the broader public alike. The artwork will serve as a potent medium to spotlight and address the deep-seated inequalities and injustices stemming from the disregard for the social and environmental rights of marginalized and vulnerable communities. By channeling their passion and creativity, the selected participants will infuse their distinctive artistic perspectives into the creation of inspiring visual and performing arts that are set to ignite conversations, inspire change, and foster a heightened awareness of these critical issues. The bootcamp will be facilitated by skilled artists specialized in different art sections.
