Documentation of the Tunisian Revolution

Hamideddine Bouali has been photographing the protests every day since January 13, 2011, first in Tunis, then in Sidi Bouzid. He often worked under the tear gas mask. The portrait of a young woman chanting, taken on February 19, 2011 in Tunis, holding a Tunisian flag over the heads of the crowd and wearing a t-shirt that reads "Victoire de Tunisie" ("Victory of Tunisia") is considered that Portrait of the Revolution.

After the photos of Hamededdine Bouali were shown in 2011, while the protests were still ongoing, at several locations in Tunis and at the Mad'Art cultural center in Carthage , they started a series of exhibitions in Germany with the support of the Goethe Institute Tunis.
