TOKYO: An exhibition in Tokyo is offering visitors a chance to experience the artistic and cultural heritage of Tunisia.
“Tunisia: Pathways in Cultural Exchange with the World” opened on Friday and will run until the end of January.
The event forms part of the Tunisian Embassy’s broader efforts to highlight Tunisian culture and to promote Tunisia as a unique cultural and touristic destination.
The exhibition features traditional handicrafts, contemporary fine art and a dedicated space showcasing Tunisia’s history, traditions, and tourism potential. An exclusive corner is also devoted to the display and sale of authentic Tunisian products, providing Japanese visitors with a tangible experience of Tunisia’s craftsmanship and creativity.
Beyond the exhibition itself, a rich program of cultural activities will be held throughout its duration. Highlights include “Tunisia through the Eyes of JICA Volunteers”, a lecture on Tunisian archaeological sites inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, creative workshops for children, live Arabic calligraphy demonstrations, and musical performances.
The exhibition serves as a prelude to the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Tunisia and Japan next year.
