Amel Triki
Photographer
Paris, Tunis, Sfax
"What stands out in Amel Triki’s work is not only the quality of her images, but also the way she looks at the world. Her photography is guided by a deep curiosity about people and a sensitivity that emerges through every encounter. Behind each image lies a moment of observation, attentive listening, and a desire to create a connection with those she photographs. Through the different countries, contexts, and people she has encountered, Amel builds a sensitive archive of everyday life. Her photographs do not seek to capture “spectacular moments”; rather, they reveal what connects individuals through their shared humanity. A presence, a gaze, a posture, or a moment of silence become the witnesses of singular stories." words of the curatrice Sinda Drine

Nour B.
Author & podcaster
Paris, Alger, Hanoï
Nour is an author, podcast founder, and an International Law graduate, deeply passionate about issues of justice, identity, and human dignity. Alongside her academic pursuits, writing has become a powerful means of expressing realities and experiences that are often underrepresented in contemporary literature. She wrote Two Hearts Bound because she could not see herself reflected in the romantic stories most commonly portrayed. She wanted to tell a sincere love story, one rooted in her values and free from many of the narratives traditionally glorified in mainstream romance. Through this novel, Nour also sought to give voice to experiences that are too often overlooked, particularly those of women who wear the hijab in societies where prejudice and Islamophobia remain a reality. Without claiming to speak on behalf of all women, she hopes to shed light on some of the challenges they may face, while also highlighting the strength, dignity, and hope that accompany these journeys.
