Description
This program by Hatem El Mekki humorously illustrates a proverb or a popular nursery rhyme linked to the world of children. The visual shows adult hands miming shadow play or protective gestures towards a little stylized mouse. The Arabic inscriptions evoke smallness and cunning: “Sghir sghiroun…” (Very little little…). This stamp promotes oral transmission and the tenderness of family games which shape the imagination of young Tunisians, reminding us that each little creature has its place in traditional stories.
