WISIGN Djerbahood.

Djerbahood: Street and graffiti artists from all over the world gathered in the Island of dreams, Djerba, in a one of its picturesque and authentic villages, Erriadh, where they created the first open-air street art museum.

Hospitable locals opened their doors for a hundred of artists from thirty different nationalities who jazzed up the walls of the village with more than 250 artworks.

The project which was launched in 2014 by the Parisian la Galerie Itinerance specialized in street art showcases a variety of artistic styles that added to the beauty and quaint charm of Erriadh.

Old walls bursted into colour in harmony with the authenticity and local environment of the village and brought to that old-age city an additional aesthetic touch while preserving its traditional character.
