The festival "Du bist wunderbar, Berlin" (Berlin of the magnificent), organised by the Goethe Institut, is a series of cultural events taking place in Tunis from 13 to 22 October 2023, and celebrating the life and culture of Berlin. It is in this context that two Tunisian artists and photographers are exhibited: Malek Khemiri and Skander Khlif. Through street scenes, scenes of life and captured moments, the two photographers offer a glimpse of Berlin through their eyes.
Malek Khemiri is a Tunisian filmmaker, photographer and musician. Co-founder of the hip-hop group Armada Bizerta, he explores artistic synergies around the world. In 2021, he produced "Black Label", a photojournalism exhibition recounting the latest Tunisian mobilisations from 2020 to 2021.
Born in Tunis in 1983, Skander Khlif grew up on the shores of the Mediterranean. In 2003, he moved to Germany to study engineering and took up photography. Since then, he has been playing with shapes and light with his lens. He mainly takes art, street and documentary photographs.
