The story
Carthage Ceramic Arts Days in Tunis
Carthage Ceramic Arts Days, or Journees de la Ceramique d'Art de Carthage, launched its first edition August 31 to September 8, 2019 at the Cite de la Culture in Tunis. The inaugural event gathered around 60 ceramic artists from 20 countries for workshops, exhibitions, and a closing evening at the Roman amphitheater of Carthage.
Carthage's ancient identity was, in part, built on ceramics: Punic and Roman-era workshops on the site produced pottery, amphorae, and decorative ware that archaeologists still study today, and the ruins where those workshops once stood now sit alongside a modern Roman theatre and amphitheater still used for public events.
