Jewish Tunisia: At a Crossroads of Civilizations
Hosted By: Qesher
Tunisia, the former seat of Cartaghe’s empire, has been home to different Jewish communities for more than 2,000 years. Its central location at a crossroads of civilizations led to multiple influences on food, culture, language, and identity. Artist Rafram Chaddad will take us through the different elements of the complex Jewish layer of Tunisia, which took a fateful turn in 1967 after the Six-Day War. Rafram will talk about how Jewish life looks today in Tunisia and about his work as a visual artist, which blends biography and Jewish identity in contemporary Tunisia.
