I’m French Tunisian writer and art critic with an interest in memory, place, and expansive genealogies for publications including Art Review, Observer, Middle East Eye, Hyperallergic, The Nation, The Atlantic and others.​ My debut book, An Opinionated Guide to Folk Art, was released this year (Hoxton Mini Press).

My reviews, essays, and interviews commonly thread on replacing contemporary art production in a global context that decentres dominants hubs and impositions to engage with the periphery and so-called rest of the world. In short, I want to make sense of marginalised voices and erased narratives to amplify artists and creative practices reckoning with cultural shifts, reclamations, and hybridity. I previously wrote about North African cave paintings driving contemporary artists’ desire to explore postcolonial identities, a sculpture biennial taking place in military junta-controlled Burkina Faso at a time of questioning France’s role in the region amidst decolonial curatorial debates, as well as approaching Surrealism’s centenary through the lens of the Global Majority. I love exploring storytelling, history, and place, as well as the tension between belonging and displacement through stories connecting personal and collective stakes.

I’m at work on several creative/literary projects, including a novel for which I am seeking representation.

​My work has previously been included in Best American Essays 2025 under “Notable Essays and Literary Nonfiction”. I’m currently a ’25 Periplus Fellow.
