Dans le sillage du soulèvement populaire de janvier 2011 et face aux métamorphoses politiques engagées depuis, une thématique particulièrement symbolique dans la Tunisie d’aujourd’hui a été choisie pour DREAM CITY 2012 : L’artiste face aux libertés.
Cette année, la programmation compte une quarantaine d’artistes, dont une trentaine de Tunisiens et une dizaine d’artistes étrangers. Une invitation spéciale a par ailleurs
été lancée à des artistes originaires de pays vivant sous des régimes autoritaires ou démocratiquement malmenés.
Comme à chaque édition, Dream City investira la médina, cœur historique de la ville, pour semer dans les rues, les maisons, sur les places, sous les porches des œuvres originales et inédites conçues et réalisées selon ce territoire et spécialement pour l’événement.
New social and political stakes, new identity, new urban stakes
Dream City: Artistic Actions in Urban Space
Dream City gives a tremendous importance to the new forms of artistic creations in the urban space, questioning our new political and societal conditions and striking roots all over the city: contextual art, new architectures and new urban landscapes, mobile art, new urban cultures and other forms of critical and artistic appropriation of the city.
The selected projects shall concern at the same time the pertinence of the work of art in
keeping with a place, a territory or a population and the capacity of echoing a collective
memory around the following theme: the artist facing freedom.
The call for projects is open to all the Tunisian artists living and practising in the territory. 15 to 20 Tunisian projects shall be selected.
This year, Dream City is inviting all the Artists of Africa and Central Asia African Artists to submit their projects. 5 selected artists of Africa and Central Asia shall be offered a lodging to develop their work.
