We are five women. We come from Tunisia and Morocco. We sometimes exist elsewhere. We are practitioners of text and visual arts. We form the collective Asameena and run its literary magazine since 2016. We do so out of North Africa with the ambition of welcoming texts produced from the Souths and their interstices. We work to open and consolidate an editorial space that embraces literary forms insolvent or minoritized by publishing institutions and their unspoken rules.



Nous sommes cinq femmes. Nous venons de Tunisie, et du Maroc. Nous existons parfois ailleurs. Nous sommes des praticiennes du texte et des arts visuels. Nous formons le collectif Asameena et conduisons sa revue littéraire depuis 2016. Nous le faisons depuis l’Afrique du Nord, avec l’ambition d’accueillir des textes émis à partir des Suds et de leurs interstices. Nous travaillons à ouvrir et à consolider un espace éditorial, en mesure d’accueillir des formes littéraires insolvables ou minorisées par les institutions éditoriales et leurs règles tacites.
