https://www.apartamentomagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Rafram_chaddad_Apartamento_magazine_website_stories0002.jpg1200804This is the first in a series of texts looking at the theme of isolation, written in light of the current moment by a number of people who’ve appeared in the magazine. For different reasons, they’ve all experienced prolonged periods of isolation in their lives and have kindly accepted to reflect on these intervals—what it meant to them and how it’s affected their outlook. Rafram Chaddad is a Tunisian artist and self-taught food expert with a particular interest in the Jewish-Arab cuisine of North Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Ten years ago, while travelling through Libya to document places of Jewish cultural significance, he was kidnapped by the Libyan secret police and held for six months in Libya’s infamous Abu Salim prison.
