BROUDOU is delighted to present the second volume of our magazine. This year, it is dedicated to stories that traverse the world of olive oil. 

As a collective publication, we have gathered knowledge and perspectives on this sacred oil from artists, journalists, anthropologists, historians, poets, and even an archaeobotanist. Exploring the various dimensions of olive oil has taken us back thousands of years, out to Palestine and Egypt, into the homes of diaspora, and beyond. 

Questions of health, cultural symbolism, nation building, exile, beauty, and homesickness weave through the nearly 20 contributions which are available in English, Tunisian Arabic, and French. 

As with bread, olive oil has opened up enticing exchanges with people from all walks of life, and we hope for these conversations to stay open. By sharing these narratives, we hope to foster collective practices and engagements which bring forth systems that enrich rather than exploit the earth and the lifeforms which inhabit it.

BROUDOU is a non-profit publication and learning platform dedicated to exploring the future of food in Tunisia.
