Les Touareg portent un long vêtement nommé [takakat] et un chèche, appelé aussi taguelmoust. Le chèche est une sorte de turban d’environ quatre-cinq mètres de long qui s’enroule sur la tête pour se protéger des intempéries L’homme ne quitte jamais son turban. Il peut être de différentes couleurs mais deux couleurs ont une signification spéciale. Le blanc est porté pour montrer un signe de respect, un jour particulier. Le chèche indigo en lin plus chaud est porté les jours de froid.

A certain duty to remember?
Yes, indeed, it is this desire to dust off the things of yesteryear that is bothering me. I started by rediscovering the tales of my hometown Constantine. Then I became interested in the culinary art and all the ceremonial that accompanies it… And then the desire to illustrate my writings and here I am, a brush in my hand… A brush that I never let go of… But even in my painting is what I am not looking for and, despite myself, this certain duty of memory?
