In Algeria, the first International Rock Art Festival has opened in Djanet. Under the patronage of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, the event brings together experts from twelve countries to discuss the conservation and scientific study of prehistoric rock art in the Tassili N’Ajjer region. Minister of Culture and Arts Malika Bendouda emphasized the importance of using scientific research and youth engagement to protect this UNESCO World Heritage site.
In Tunisia, a new three-year partnership has been established between the Hasdrubal Foundation for Culture and Arts, the National Heritage Institute (INP), and the Higher Institute of Fine Arts of Nabeul (Isban). The agreement aims to strengthen the preservation of Tunisian artistic heritage through the creation of a ‘school-workshop’ dedicated to art restoration. This initiative will provide students with practical training in conservation techniques while working on collections from the INP and the Hasdrubal Foundation.
