To me, as a Northern European, Tunisia felt very exotic. The team behind the Dar Meso residency is incredibly supportive and helpful. They go out of their way to help artists connect with the local creative scene, including musicians and visual artists and they are open to all kinds of ideas and collaborations. I have very fond memories of my time there. I would highly recommend the experience to any artist looking to explore new cultural contexts in a welcoming and inspiring environment.
wonderful hosts interesting group of residents, the popup exhibition in the garden was a highlight where I met local creatives, great location for example drawing on the roof be prepared to take initiative in an unstructured environment.
