It’s in the turmoil of this exhibition that 250 Tunisian artists have shown their collection named “ Turbulences“. t he exhibition in collaboration with Venice Biennale organized at the Giorgio Cini Foundation, on San Giorgio Maggiore island in Venice, takes place from 1 September to 1 November 2015. It offers an art without borders that goes beyond differences and pushes forward civilization. “Imago Mundi“ is the idea that neither art nor the world have borders. Artists from multiple countries contribute in their own way to draw this map of the artistic world. In the context of this exhibition, the 250 Tunisian artists have presented a collection entitled “Turbulences“. The artists have succeeded, through their creations, in combining their cultural and ancestral heritage with modernity by adopting a broad variety of techniques (acrylic, photography, engraving, sculpture, mosaic, embroidery), and a comparable profusion of materials (copper, wood, glass, terracotta). Leila Souissi is the curator of this ambitious project where established and emerging artists allow us to discover various forms of expression.
