Salma Kossemtini is an independent Tunisian curator, researcher, and cultural producer. Since 2016, she has chosen a path centered on curatorial practice through art mediation, weaving together archives and practice-based approaches. She is in a continuous search for identity and explores space as a plural form, constantly questioning and redefining it within the curatorial discourse.  Salma Kossemtini has curated solo and group exhibitions, with a particular emphasis on interdisciplinary projects. Notable projects include the Haptic Library (curated with Archive Ensemble) for Dak’Art Biennial 2024 in Senegal, as well as shows featuring Sana Chamakh Strata of Being co-curated with Hela Djobbi, Nidhal Chamekh, Et Si Carthage? co -curated with Kathryn Weir, Sonia Kacem Jelliz & Gestes, Fares Thabet On a Blade of Grass, and Thameur Mejri Over the Edge.  Produced the inaugural exhibition of 32Bis Mu’awiya’s thread, of Thania Petersen Can we sing together again, old friend? and Adama Sylla’s L’histoire de demain. Additionally, Salma initiated L’atelier at Selma Feriani Gallery, where she hosted and accompanied artist residencies of Sophia Bsiri, Ghassen Chraifa, Myriam Dachraoui, Sonia Kacem and Aymen Mbarki and Gresham Tapiwa Nyaude.

Salma is part of the board of Mouhit Space – an environment for practicing creativity, feedback, and conviviality. She has joined Archive Ensemble, a collective of practitioners and storytellers who collaborate across different longitudes, moved by a communal need to imagine and know the world differently operating between Berlin, Milan, and Dakar.
