#onassignment @sipausa Just returned from an incredible work trip to Zarzis, where I had the honor of documenting the skilled craftsmen who have been manufacturing and repairing wooden fishing boats using traditional methods for generations. Their attention to detail and commitment to preserving their town's cultural heritage through their craft was truly inspiring. I'm excited to share the beauty and artistry of their work with you all through my photos. #Tunisia #Zarzis #traditionalcraftsmanship #fishingheritage #culturalidentity #photojournalism #documentaryphotography #woodenboats #photojournalism #storytelling #journalism #humaninterest #visualstorytelling (at Ici c'est zarzis هنا جرجيس) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBMpv7IqUv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Eye popping gyrations

Saturday 26th. To the waterfront market with the Rolser to stock up on all the fruit and veg for the week. Our route takes us through a gap in the fence and across the train tracks then past murals depicting Olhao’s fishing heritage.

Olhao is known as the Cubist City on account of buildings dating from the 18th century in the form of superimposed cubes that populate the tight sinuous streets. At the beginning of the 19th century Olhao was under French rule with the Portuguese Court exiled in Brazil. Disgruntled Olhanians felt overwhelmed by the punitive taxes and restrictions placed on their traditional fishing industries. After days of conspiracy they prepared an ambush on the Qulefes Bridge precipitating the rebellion that would liberate the region from the oppression of the French troops. Sovereignty was restored on the 16th June 1808 and in September of that year achieved Restoration Village status by decree of the Prince Regent.

Then we are off to Lagoa for pizza and more music. We have a craving for pizza and the lovely ladies at Ristorante da Donato[1] do not disappoint. Really great pizzas at a little tratorria we happen upon just off the main road into town.

Replete we head off to Auditorio Carlos do Carmo to see the Yinnan Ensemble: Hamid Ajbar, violin and vocals; Aziz Sansaqui, kanun (Arabian guitar); Mouhssine Koraichi, percussion drum; Manuela Caballero, dance. The performance is part of the Al Mutamid Music Festival. Music that for years has filled the bazaars, medinas and palaces of the Gharb al Andalus. Eyes are popping at the gyrations of the sexy belly dancer who adds visual flavour.
