about

Corps Citoyen الجسد المواطن is a multidisciplinary artistic collective based between Tunis and Milan. Their practice crosses languages to create new narratives of the present. Working with communities and public space, they promote decolonized languages and counter marginalization, reclaiming who has the right to speak in the public sphere.

Barrani is their first release – the record version of the performance of the same name.

Out of place. A-topos. Déplacée.
A presence always in the wrong place – in the words of Edward Said – suspended between origin and landing.

In Tunisian Arabic, barrani means “the outsider,” literally “the one from outside (el barra).” It names the foreigner, the one who left for Europe.

This record is dedicated to the diaspora generation – non-native European citizens who live in the fracture of belonging. Nostalgia, exile, the mother tongue: Barrani is memory as refuge, the body as an archive of gestures, a sound that moves in non-linear time, doubling presence, splitting absence, and making home in motion.
