THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Writing for C& in July 2025, Imen Zarrouk explored Bao Books, the Tunis bookstore, design studio and publishing project founded by Moez Akkari. The feature described its Moving Forward collaboration with Egypt’s Esmat publishing house, intended to improve regional book circulation through hubs in Tunis and Cairo. Zarrouk connected that infrastructure to artists’ publications by Farah Khelil, Abdullah al Saadi and Yasmine El Meleegy.
