Tangible Festival at the Mucem
From Wednesday, October 15, 2025 to Thursday, October 23, 2025
What is design? Quite a lot, in fact. If, in the collective imagination, the consumer society has drained the word of all its richness, to the point of transforming it into an adjective attached to expensive objects of dubious utility, today it brings together a multitude of creative practices that bring new solutions for the present into everyday life, as well as beauty, poetry, ingenuity and meaning.
A festival initiated and coordinated by Fotokino, in collaboration with Les Beaux-Arts de Marseille, le Couvent Levat, le Cirva, Madar Design, PAC, Voyons voir, le Mucem, la Biennale d’Aix and le [mac]. And in partnership with all the structures and professionals involved in this program.
With the support of Métropole Aix-Marseille-Provence.

Tangible Festival
Walid Bouchouchi founded the Akakir studio in Paris in 2016 before moving to Marseille.
For several years, he has been sharing his research into multiscript through conferences at which he presents his projects and a collection of printed objects gathered over time. For the Tangible festival, he is opening up this dialogue to other viewpoints by inviting designers and typographers Naïma Ben Ayed and Brahim Boucheikha, explorers of Arabic, Latin and Tifinagh scripts, and translator Lotfi Nia, committed to contemporary Arabic literature.
