Project Le Jardin d’Afrique

Le Jardin d’Afrique (Garden of Africa) in Zarzis, Tunisia, is a memorial project created by Rachid Koraïchi with contributions from his daughter Fatma Koraïchi.

Inaugurated on 9 June 2021 in the presence of UNESCO’s Director-General Audrey Azoulay, it serves as a non-denominational cemetery for migrants who died crossing the Mediterranean.

MEMORY CARVED IN STONE — THE ART OF REMEMBRANCE IN LE JARDIN D’AFRIQUE

Le Jardin d’Afrique in Zarzis, Tunisia, is a monumental memorial project conceived by the Algerian artist Rachid Koraïchi, with the involvement of his daughter Fatma Koraïchi. Inaugurated on 9 June 2021 in the presence of UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay, the site redefines the cemetery as a space of dignity, spirituality, and artistic reflection. It is dedicated to migrants who lost their lives crossing the Mediterranean, offering a non-denominational place of rest where identity, faith, and nationality dissolve into shared humanity.

The landscape is carefully composed through symbolic geometry, ceramic inscriptions, sculptural elements, and ritual architecture. Among its most striking features is the low yellow entrance door, symbolising the sun and inviting visitors to bow in respect, transforming the act of entry into a gesture of humility. Graves are organised with precision and care, reflecting both individual recognition and collective memory. The site also integrates spaces for washing the dead, a chapel for all religions, and botanical elements such as jasmine and citrus trees, reinforcing cycles of life and renewal.

Beyond its physical presence, Le Jardin d’Afrique has been documented by international press, including The Art Newspaper and US art publications, highlighting its urgent response to the Mediterranean migration crisis. It stands not only as a work of art, but as an ethical and humanitarian statement—where architecture becomes mourning, and memory becomes responsibility.

  • Le Jardin d’Afrique stands in Zarzis as a UNESCO-recognised memorial landscape where art, burial, and humanity converge into a single act of remembrance.

  • Rachid Koraïchi, together with his daughter Fatma Koraïchi, develops Le Jardin d’Afrique as both an artistic and humanitarian act of remembrance for migrants lost at sea. Their collaboration transforms grief into architecture, shaping a non-denominational cemetery that unites symbolism, ritual, and dignity for the unnamed dead.

  • Fadhel Jaziri visits Le Jardin d’Afrique in Zarzis alongside Rachid Koraïchi, engaging in dialogue about art, memory, and monumental theatre within a sacred landscape of remembrance.

  • Before Fadhel Jaziri passing, Jaziri witnessed this evolving memorial site, leaving behind an irreplaceable artistic and human legacy in Tunisia’s cultural history.

  • Fatma’s presence reflects a generational continuity, ensuring the project remains deeply rooted in compassion, memory, and artistic responsibility.

  • Their meeting reflects a shared vision where stage, space, and collective memory merge into one powerful cultural language.

HAUSER & WIRTH LONDON — “TRADE ROUTES” EXHIBITION OPENING (2013)

The opening of Trade Routes at Hauser & Wirth London in May 2013 marked a significant moment in the gallery’s programming, bringing together around fifteen contemporary artists from across the globe in a major international group exhibition.

The show reflected the gallery’s ongoing commitment to cross-cultural dialogue and global contemporary practice, with a particular focus on artistic exchanges spanning Africa, the Middle East, and beyond.

Among the participating artists was Rachid Koraïchi, featured in this prestigious collective presentation, which continued through July 2013. The exhibition was noted in Canvas Magazine, highlighting the significance of Hauser & Wirth as a leading platform for internationally recognized contemporary art in London.

At the time, Fatma Koraichi was working closely alongside Rachid Koraïchi, as well as collaborating within the broader artistic orbit that included figures such as Mourad Salem, whose work has appeared in London contexts connected to major gallery circuits and city-wide events such as London Gallery Weekend (2022), often alongside prominent institutions including Hauser & Wirth.

This exhibition stands as part of a wider London contemporary art landscape, where established international galleries serve as key meeting points for artists whose practices engage with cultural memory, identity, and global artistic exchange.
