I am thrilled to announce Echoes of Machtat ذبال العين
Within @khatawat_cineparcourt 
✨✨🌹💐💐

In Mahdia, Tunisia, I embark on an intimate journey through the ancestral customs that have shaped my life, exploring matrimonial traditions, and highlighting the Henna, where the bewitching songs of the Machtat resound. Tracing my childhood memories, guided by Latifa and Habiba, two prominent Machtat, I uncover the maternal essence of tradition, where the bond between mother and bride is at the heart of these intimate celebrations.

I would like to thank every person who helped this dream come true 🤍

𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐈𝐎 - 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐍 𝐀𝐋𝐈
On view from September 4 to 7 

Mouhit Space and L’atelier Salma Feriani are happy to invite you to the opening of Firas Ben Ali ‘s (@firasbenali_ ) end of residency presentation at L’atelier by Selma Feriani on September 4 from 7pm to 9pm.

After two months of residency at Mouhit, Firas shares the work and explorations that emerged during that time, in “Is Anybody Here ?”, an Open Studio hosted at L’Atelier Selma Feriani. 

Looking back on his time in residency, he writes: 

“I sat on the floor, facing a white piece of paper and many photographs, both mine and my mother’s.

Through printing and drawing, I explored, failed, and sometimes stumbled upon a stunt!, like a newborn. During these long, solitary summer nights, hidden faces and places emerged from the ink on the surface, or from a fragment in a video forming a dreamscape, or perhaps a memoryscape.

I was mapping my poor memory through these photographs, the kind that seems to fail me almost every time. But sometimes, I do remember. Emotivity comes back. And I find myself looking for something. A question comes to mind:

Is anybody here?”

Through video, photography archives, and drawing, Firas Ben Ali explores a fragmented universe where memory and dreamscape overlap dissolved and blurred, disfigured and constantly transforming.

as 2025 comes to a close,
it feels important to express my deepest gratitude to all the inspiring people who shaped it for me, including the many new connections born through music and shared moments that sparked conversations and new perspectives. 
i am truly privileged to be surrounded by you, as you constantly pushed me to expand my palette, to never stay still in the same sounds, and to keep seeking new ways of expression, while always staying true to the core.

to the friends who continue to show up with honest and unwavering support,
to the promoters who trusted me with their floors and their visions,
to the labels that handled my music with real care and intention,
to the collaborators who challenged me, inspired me, and shared the process,
to the workers who keep our local nightlife and cultural spaces alive,
and to the people across oceans i’ve yet to meet, whose messages reminded me that the music travels further than i do,
thank you.

early 2026 will see the release of a new, more club-oriented track of mine

in the meantime, it would mean a lot to share one final moment together this year on saturday, december 27th at @restaurant_la_gondole_sousse, with @thehamditheryder and myself.

grateful to be walking this path with you,
always. 🌌
