In the last years of the nineteenth century, the Tunisian city of Qayrawn suddenly found itself covered in murals. Concentrated on and around the citys Great Mosque, these monumental artworks were only visible for about fifty years, from the 1880s through the 1930s. This book investigates the fascinating history of who created these outdoor paintings and why.
Using visual archaeological methods, William Gallois reconstructs the visual history of these works and vividly brings them back to life. He locates pictorial records of the murals from the backdrops of photographs, postcards, and other forms of European ephemera. In Qayrawn, he identifies a form of religious painting that transposed traditional aesthetic forms such as house decoration, embroidery, and tattooingwhich lay exclusively within the domains of womenonto the body of a conquered city. Gallois argues that these works were created by women as a form of emergency art, intended to offer amuletic protection for the community, and demonstrates how they differ markedly from classical Islamic antecedents and modern modes of Arab cultural production in the Middle East and North Africa.
