Bettina Pelz

STATEMENT
Djerba is home to Aymen, my partner in this initiative. He convinced me to spent time, energy and thought on Djerba – its landscapes and its architecture, its people and its culture. Together we created SEE DJERBA as an open framework to reflect on Djerba as a living enviroment and its future. Located at the intersections of art and its contexts – whether they are social and political, cultural and historical, environmental and economical – we want to pave the way for a new environment for artists, architects, designers, cultural producers, and friends. We want to foster an open space where traditional creative roles are dissolved, where the creative disciplines are challenged, and where new concepts of art-making are shared.
