AYNA #1. A project by Aziza Harmel

This first issue in a serial publication is inspired by a house located in the coastal town of La Marsa near Tunis. Taking the house’s close proximity to a gallery and a bookstore as a starting point for thinking through the book’s structure, the place quickly became both a literal and metaphorical character. The house is interesting not only in a historical sense, or for of the role it plays within the community, but due to its strong position as a host and the politics of hospitality it supports.
