'Khadra' could mean different things
It could be about a young woman, about earth or the color green
I didn't set one theme for 'Khadra'
or even for selecting the artists
We're a group of friends who have much in common
So we decided to organize a group show
For the second edition in 2013, I wanted to include people I didn't know
with different visions
Artists I hadn't got to know personally
Some of the artists took part in the first edition of Khadra
There's also Tunisian artist Sarra Ben Attia who I got to know personally
I got to know the other artists through Facebook or recommendations
So I got to see their work
But we never really intended to limit the show to female artists
Every artist works in a personal way
What I mean by personal is anything that affected them
Here the political developments affected us all giving a theme to the show
But this wasn't intentional
