June 11: At the Spring Arts Fair in Tunis, the morning after the final day. The controversial exhibition sparked a major wave of protests on the last day, with critics accusing the artists of desecrating the sacred. That night, clashes broke out between police and dozens of Salafists who attempted to force their way into the Abdellia Palace—where the art exhibition was being held—with the aim of destroying the works they deemed blasphemous. This controversy sparked the first clashes between the state and the Salafists in two days, forcing the government to impose a new curfew. Here is one of the slashed canvases.© Images de Tunisie — watermarked preview
