"Destiny and Destination" is a series of portraits that explore the construction of individual work identities in northwestern Tunisia, the most economically disadvantaged region in the country.

​

Since the Jasmine Revolution in 2011, political leaders have prioritized institutional reforms, while displaying reluctance in addressing issues such as unemployment and spatial disparities in access to opportunities.

​

Poverty rates range from 8% in the central-east region to 32% in the central-west region, with a 20% gap in unemployment rates between more prosperous and underprivileged governorates.

 

Simultaneously, a vibrant and highly motivated youth population is eager to redefine its role in the new post-revolution economy. Some of this enthusiasm is directed towards establishing social and agricultural enterprises in the North-West, the country's largest farmland area.

This series of portraits focuses on this new generation of farmers and environmental entrepreneurs and their efforts to shape their destiny into their desired destination.
