New Art Exhibition at Mille Feuilles
On Saturday evening I went to the opening of a new art exhibition 'Libre Parcours' at the bookshop 'Mille Feuilles'.The paintings made me think of carpet designs and when I bumped into the artist Mona Belhaji ,this morning in the gallery, it seemed she was inspired by carpet designs but also by the idea of a person's identity;we all have an identity and Mona mentioned that 'though some Tunisians said the ex-president Ben Ali had robbed them of their identities our identity is ours and will exist whether it's the past or the future'.
Mona explained that in some of the paintings there are symbols related to the towns of Gafsa and Gabes
and the continent Africa ,in one painting the symbol representing man and in another two hands joined together representing 'a person's hand in his brother's'.
Mona said that one of the paintings took about a week to complete.
The time that she spends on them probably depends on the elements that go into the work of art.
Some of the paintings seem like you could be travelling into outer space or looking down on
the urban sprawl of a modern city.

Teaching English 'Live from Tataoiuine!'
This month's programme is live from Tataouine,but not in some far away distance galaxy on the desert-planet Tataooine!, but the shorter distance of 531 kilometres from Tunis down in the south-west of Tunisia.
George Lucas was inspired by the town of Tataouine to use as an name for the sandy planet in the epic Star Wars films ; he also shot many of the scenes in the nearby surrounding desert.
click here for more information on Tataouinne
By the way there's the French expression 'Tataouinne-les-Bains' ( go to Tataouinne ) which means to get lost at the end of the world!
Well,today's programme is on the topic of' 'Developing Teachers' English' and today's guests are secondary and primary teachers plus British Council Tunis' Project Manager.

Jazz at the Palace!
Jazz at Palace Ennejma Ezzahra in Sidi Bou Said!
In celebration of International Jazz Day last night there was a homage to the jazz musician John Coltrane.
The Jazz Club of Tunis had organised a celebration evening of jazz.
However,I didn't realise the concert was by invitation only but earlier on that evening while walking up the hill to the entrance to the Palace I was lucky to meet a Tunisian guy on his way to the concert and he managed to get me an invitation.Later on I found out the guy was an actor and writer who had recently played the role in the Tunisian production of 'Macbeth'.
The best part of the concert was the second part when the music was bit livelier but in general it was a pleasant evening of jazz in a stunning location with even some free refreshments before the concert.
