RAYDIUS: Photographic Group Project in Tilal Utique:

A cohort of six photographers will be invited to participate. Together with German curator Michael Gleich, they will create a series of documentary-artistic portraits. The protagonists are ordinary people. They live in the vicinity of the new Tilal Utique event center (30 minutes from Tunis). Some work there, others are farmers, imams, athletes, artists, etc. in the surrounding area. 
  
Purpose of the project: To use photography as a medium to strengthen the bond between the place and the people around it and to express appreciation for the protagonists. The result will be an “open studio” at the end of the production period, to which the protagonists, employees of the Kamel Lazaar Foundation, and guests of Tilal Utique will be invited. An exhibition there is also under discussion.  
  
The curator will provide a few guidelines for the project (e.g., black-and-white photography), leaving room for the photographers' own styles, ideas, and interpretations of portrait photography.
