Book description:
Rose of the Desert is the local name of Douz, a Tunisian Oasis town, home to the annual International Festival of the Sahara. The festival preserves Northern African Berber traditions and its a place for locals to celebrate the new year. The project shifts its gaze to contemporary Tunisians living in rural Tunisia, exploring the clash of modern and historic desert culture at the festival - a meditation of the old and the new.
