Wajdan

For the Wajdan project, Selma and Sofiane Ouissi directed five women artists living in Tunis, Beirut, Damascus, Cairo, Brussels and Sao Paulo remotely. Filmed at home by their mobile phones, they respond to the voice of Wajdan, a Syrian political refugee living in France. A film full of humanity, about social relationships and the role of artists during times of crisis.

Selma and Sofiane Ouissi are fascinated by the human condition and what drives everyday relationships. Wajdan was commissioned by Guggenheim Abu Dhabi. The story of this Syrian refugee was also part of their other project Le Moindre Geste.
