A veritable open-air museum, Djerbahood is an authentic place, vested by artists from all over the world. Successively in 2014 and 2021, the village of Erriadh in Djerba (Tunisia) hosted more than 150 artists from thirty different nationalities.

Djerbahood is an experiment showcasing what the ideal street art museum could be: designed in accordance with traditional museum standards, with lighting, a scenography and a curated path, it stands out from urban art festivals. An artistic, social and human experience, Djerbahood offers artists the opportunity to push back the boundaries of their approach by working on new mediums and adapting to local specificities. Chosen for its timeless traditional architecture, the village of Erriadh now benefits from revitalised tourism and social as well as economic activity.

Djerbahood now gathers over 300 artworks that tie in with the village’s architecture. Murals and installations stand side by side in the streets and alleyways, forming a journey between modernity and tradition. Working alone or in collaboration with local craftsmen, the artists draw their inspiration from the island’s culture and the village’s exceptional architectural setting to create original works that are specific to the place.
