Depuis 2014, le village d’Erriadh abrite Djerbahood, véritable musée à ciel ouvert, c’est un lieu authentique investi par des artistes venus du monde entier. Un projet artistique et humain inédit à l’origine de la restauration du patrimoine architectural d’Erriadh, source d’un tourisme engagé et durable.
L’expérimentation artistique devient un projet pérenne et un vecteur de préservation du patrimoine millénaire de l’île. Les façades des houchs –les maisons à patio, les plus répandues à Djerba –choisies pour accueillir les œuvres sont restaurées dans le respect des savoirs faires et des matériaux locaux. Diagnostics, traitements, nettoyages et restaurations des surfaces sont effectués avant l’arrivée des artistes. Le patrimoine architectural d’Erriadh, façonné par un héritage culturel judaïque et musulman de plus de 2000 ans, reprend vie.

a month agoDjerbahood was an urban art event during which artists from around the world took over the Tunisian village of Erriadh on Djerba. Today it is an impressive and beautiful open-air graffiti museum. The weather was perfect and it was great fun just strolling through all the alleyways, discovering the various works of art and taking photos. Many people visited Djerbahood. However, as there was so much to see and so many opportunities to walk, there were never too many people on one spot. There are also a lot of small shops, restaurants, cafes which were all beautifully decorated and had its own charm. We totally loved and enjoyed Djerbahood and would always come back.
