Bochra Triki : “My queerness is about questioning norms and opening new possibilities.”

In this episode, host Katie Kheriji-Watts speaks with Bochra Triki – a queer activist, feminist curator, and artist based in Tunis. They talk about what it was like for her to live through the Tunisian Revolution, how she feels about going into international spaces as a North African non-binary woman, and how a new generation of activists and artists in Tunisia is mobilising for queer visibility and freedom.

This episode was commissioned by On the Move, produced with the support of the French Ministry of Culture, and edited by Émilie Wadelle.
