Derja Symposium

Design of the visual poster for the symposium on Derja Tunisienne, a living language that bears witness to a plural history, organized by the Association Nous Tous Tunisie and the Institut des Belles Lettres Arabes (IBLA). 

For this visual, we opted for an identity-focused approach. We symbolized this identity through a fingerprint, a universally recognized motif as unique to each individual, while incorporating discreet chat bubble shapes.

This visual representation seeks to express the way in which the Tunisian language, embodied Derja, is a fundamental pillar of national identity. The speech bubbles recall verbal exchanges, the lively, dynamic communication that characterizes Derja, a language language spoken and shared on a daily basis.

At the heart of this symbolic fingerprint, we've placed the map of Tunisia in red, a vibrant color evoking the passion, energy and vitality of Tunisian culture. This inclusion reinforces the inseparable link between language, culture and national identity, highlighting the and strength of the Derja Tunisienne in the linguistic and cultural landscape of the Maghreb.

By combining the fingerprint emblem, a symbol of individual uniqueness, with the national map the national map and chat bubbles, representative of language and communication, our captures the essence of Tunisian Derja as a living language, the bearer of a plural of a plural and rich history.
