I am an art curator and researcher from Algeria and Tunisia, dividing my time between Tunis and New York.
My most recent curatorial projects include the three-part exhibition series Cantando Bajito at the Ford Foundation Gallery (2024), Aracanes at rizhome Gallery (2024) and the Ljubljana 35th Graphic Arts Biennial (2023). Previously, I took part in the curatorial teams of various projects with sonsbeek20→24 (2020), the Forum Expanded of the Berlinale (2019), and the Dak’Art 13 Biennial (2018), among others, and was a curatorial assistant at the Berlin-based art space, SAVVY Contemporary. My latest projects explored feminist modes of creative resistance, post-colonial histories of print-making, and the construction of racial identities in the arts in colonial and post-colonial Africa.
Currently, I am the Contemporary and Modern Art Perspectives (C-MAP) Fellow for Africa at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, where I conduct research, plan programs and serve as co-editor of the online platform post.moma.org.
Prior to my fellowship, I was the CAORC/Andrew Mellon Art History fellow, from 2020-2024, with the American Center for Maghrebi Studies in Tunis (CEMAT).
