Job offer - Head of Communications at L'Art Rue
When and where?
L'Art Rue is a space for creation, experimentation and research between practices and cultures founded in Tunis. Since 2006, L'Art Rue, created by the duo of dancers and choreographers Selma and Sofiane Ouissi, has made the creative gesture of the artist resonate with the context of Tunis, its populations, its public in addition to the shared common issues and democratic challenges. L'Art Rue is a shared, cross-disciplinary space, in the heart of the Medina of Tunis that is intimately linked to the areas around it, where artists from here and elsewhere meet and build with citizens, activists and experts on the city and society of Tunis.
With the hope of creating, poetising and transforming a territory in a collective way, with the urgency of making a city and a society together, L'Art Rue puts openness, proximity and the long-term nature of creation at the heart of all its approaches, to reach out to and involve a radical diversity of human beings, all concerned by the free imagination of a common future.
