BACKGROUND

The ZOMITA Collectif is a multidisciplinary group that blends architecture, design, technology, communication, culture, and anthropology to creatively explore and promote the island’s heritage. The collective is known for its constructive approach centered on Djerbian architecture, urbanism, and heritage photography, emphasizing both local culture and UNESCO World Heritage sites on the island.

ZOMITA organizes the “Djerba World Heritage Days,” which celebrate and raise awareness about Djerba’s cultural and architectural heritage following its UNESCO World Heritage designation. This event includes workshops, guided tours, immersive experiences, scientific conferences, and collaborative projects aiming to preserve and highlight the island’s unique patrimony as a vital part of both local identity and global heritage. The collective’s mission is to honor Djerba’s recent recognition by UNESCO through innovative projects that capture and communicate the essence of the island’s building culture and history, engaging both local communities and visitors.
