Djerbahood: Open-Air Street Art Museum Created in Tunisia by Mehdi Ben Cheikh

In 2015, gallerist and curator Mehdi Ben Cheikh initiated Djerbahood, an open-air street art museum in Erriadh village on the Tunisian island of Djerba. The project involved over one hundred artists from thirty countries, transforming the whitewashed village into a large-scale artistic installation. Ben Cheikh described the initiative as a 'museum à ciel ouvert' (open-air museum) under North African skies. This endeavor represents a significant international street art collaboration, contrasting with earlier projects like Tour Paris 13.
