Gallerist · Strategic Advisor · Author
I work at the frontier of three worlds: contemporary art, emerging technologies, and geopolitics. I help international institutions and art market actors operate in contexts that conventional approaches fail to see.
Educated between Tunis, Paris, and Brussels. A path through international cooperation and emerging technologies before founding Armature and dedicating a growing share of his work to writing.

Armature is a structure dedicated to contemporary art, primarily working with artists from the African continent and its diaspora. Shiran operates as gallerist and curator — someone who understands both the artistic gesture and the mechanisms of the market, without reproducing the biases of the Western gaze.
See the artists and artworks →Strategic consulting for international institutions, development banks, cooperation agencies, and organizations navigating complex geopolitical contexts. The approach intersects emerging technologies (DLT/blockchain, AI) with a political and cultural reading of the terrain — where conventional consultants master the tech but not the context, or the reverse.
Get in touch →Essays, texts, public interventions. Writing that names things — the mechanisms of cultural power, institutional dead ends, attempts at hope. The voice of an insider who refuses to speak in platitudes.
Franco-Tunisian, a path through international cooperation, the art market, and emerging technologies — not by career strategy, but because these worlds imposed themselves one after another. Now based between Paris and Tunis, Shiran operates where art, technology, and geopolitics intersect — with the conviction that naming things is already a form of action.
