Najah Zarbout

September 2025

Najah Zarbout (*1979 on Kerkennah Islands, lives and works in Sousse, Tunisia)

Najah Zarbout’s work explores the tensions of the contemporary world, tackling themes linked to current affairs, society and the individual. Her work questions human submission, disobedience and resilience, while inviting us to reflect on their manifestations in our environment. Her artistic practice takes a variety of forms, from drawing to video and installation, with a focus on ecology. Her work has been shown in numerous exhibitions in Tunisia and abroad (Cape Town, France, Switzerland, Belgium, UAE, Morocco, Algeria, Kuwait, etc.).  

In Vienna Najah Zarbout collaborates with the environmental activist Isa Klee. They develop together the interactive exhibition project Solastalgies.
