CALL FOR APPLICATIONS – Art & Education Project Officer
About L’Art Rue
L’Art Rue is a space for artistic creation and civic engagement in the heart of the Medina of Tunis. It brings together artists, citizens, activists and experts to imagine new ways of living in the city and building stronger community ties.
For twenty years, L’Art Rue has been developing an independent artistic and cultural project, deeply rooted in its local environment and attentive to its historical, social, urban and human context.
Through its different programmes and areas of work (artistic residencies, Dream City, Civic Spaces, hosting, artistic presentation and knowledge-sharing), L’Art Rue explores the connections between art and society. The Medina of Tunis is a living space for experimentation, dialogue and creation. Over the years, L’Art Rue has built lasting relationships with its residents and with local cultural, community-based and institutional organisations.
Through its projects and collaborations in Tunisia and internationally, L’Art Rue promotes an understanding of art as a space for freedom, learning and transformation, where sharing knowledge and connecting with different audiences play an essential role.
The Art & Education Programme
Through its Art & Education programme, L’Art Rue works to make art and culture accessible to everyone. Knowledge-sharing is at the heart of the programme, which sees art as a way to support personal development and contribute to building a more open and engaged society.
The programme creates opportunities for artists, children, young people, teachers, families and education professionals to meet, create and experiment together. Its activities take place in primary schools and in L’Art Rue’s spaces at Dar Bach Hamba, in the heart of the Medina of Tunis. These two settings complement each other, offering everyone the opportunity to discover, learn and explore through artistic practice.
The programme explores how artistic practices can awaken sensitivity, stimulate imagination and develop critical thinking. It also gives particular importance to stories and narratives, both individual and collective, as well as to the ways we imagine and represent the world around us. Through artistic experiences, these stories and perspectives can be explored, questioned and reimagined.
Knowledge-sharing is seen as a living process, based on the exchange of knowledge, the sharing of experiences and the recognition of everyone's creative abilities.
