Our audiovisual TV show «Y'Africa» promotes African culture in all its forms. Tunisia showcases its artists.
Hela Lamine
Born in Tunis in 1984, Hela Lamine is a visual, multimedia, and concept artist. She works in different mediums: drawing, collage, painting, engraving, installation, scanner photography, and frescoes. Through her eclectic approach, she has developed a fictional narrative process that uses figurative drawing and collage in compositions that express her perception of reality. Through the use of food in her installations, drawing, and photography, she questions our relationship to rituals and culinary customs.
Nuri
Nuri is the stage name of Mohamed Amine Ennouri, a Tunisian electronic musician and percussionist who lives between Copenhagen and his native country. In 2017, his first album, DRUP, with its Afro-futuristic sound tinged with live percussion, successfully propelled him onto the international scene. In his sets, Nuri cultivates mystery, invariably appearing masked. Like a healing shaman, he draws us into his rhythmic ritual, an elaborate journey in which the cultural roots of his homeland are intertwined.
Rock Raven
Mohamed Yahia aka Rock Raven, 34, is a young photographer. His unusual work in Tunisia revolves around a trashy, rock universe reflected in his stage name. He is also an art director, studied computer engineering, and does not hesitate to experiment, especially in his abstract series of photos of suspended liquids. Self-taught, he began as a painter, gradually branching out into calligraphy and abstract art, until he discovered photography and became passionately devoted to this art form.
Mohamed-Amine Kalaï
Born in Kairwan, Mohamed-Amine Kalaï is a Tunisian kanun player (oriental zither). Passionate about Arab-Andalusian music, he has dedicated his budding career to renewing the genre by opening it up to the world and adding a contemporary touch. He developed a new playing technique that facilitates the adaptation of Western works. Mohamed-Amine is co-founder of Harkan, a duo combining European harp and kanun, unique in the sub-region. His first album, Mukkadima, is an anthology of anonymous pieces from the Andalusian repertoire, completed with his own compositions.
