People First: A conversation with Tania El Khoury and Bochra Triki By Sarah Rifky

“This spring, I was invited by TQW magazine to speak to Tania El Khoury and Bochra Triki about their work as curators of the current edition of the Tashweesh festival, taking place in Tunis, Vienna, and Brussels. This edition of the festival started during the pandemic; it included an online retreat for artists late last year that tackled different urgencies women face in the art world and beyond. The following is an edited transcript of our conversation, which offers insights into the festival, its program, as well as the artists’ reflection on their own role as curators, and what one can hope to achieve with an international feminist performance festival today.”
