STORY

We’re a community of north African artists and creators on a mission to reinvent society through art and culture.

In 2020, the whole world was on pause because of COVID-19. This had a huge impact on artists who, like us, were completely on their own. This experience was a real challenge for us. We learned a lot from it.

In December 2020, we launched a startup called Art Culture Studio and met with more than 200 artists and cultural entrepreneurs. In September 2021 we bringed to life the Whale Movement. We brought together more than 130 artists and creatives for three days. There were talks, concerts and so much interaction between artists and communities that have never crossed paths before.

That’s why we’re here today. Our tribe has always been at the heart of everything we do, so we launched the Tribe Membership Card, the first cultural card made by artists for artists to support and develop our community.

FUNDRAISING

Hardships never stopped us from moving forward. If anything, they have always taught us new ways to get the job done. We know for sure that we can count on our tribe’s support to keep the movement going. So it’s really no big deal if some fail to recognise our efforts. We have a plan that can get us full financial and political freedom, and all we need to make it happen is each other.

The ACS Membership Card is the first cultural card made by artists for artists in Tunisia and North Africa. With this card, we’re building a new funding model and a future plan for our startup. The Whale Tribe Fundraising Campaign aims to finance ACS’ projects and create a digital platform that contributes to the promotion of native artists and brands.
