Exhibition - “Ces voix qui m’assiègent…” at Institut Français Alger

Hamedine Kane & Tejswini Sonawane, Salesman of Revolt (Frantz Fanon), 2018.

We are pleased to announce Hamedine Kane’s participation in the second chapter of the collective exhibition “Ces voix qui m’assiègent…”, curated by Emilie Goudal and Nataša Petrešin-Bachelez at Institut Français of Algeria in Alger, from June 10 to July 19, 2025. 

The title of the exhibition is borrowed from the words of Assia Djebar, a major figure in Algerian literature, cinema and memory. It presents a selection of works, images and archives linked to the decolonisation movements and feminist struggles from Algeria, offering echoes, fragments and voices of the struggle for emancipation.

Algeria is not just a territory here, but a critical focus, a source space that resonates beyond its borders, highlighting the fault lines in our visual history. The exhibition weaves together words, traces and forms, where the intimate and the collective, absence and archive, struggle and memory all intertwine.

Initially presented at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris in 2024, this exhibition has a renewed resonance in Algiers. Comprising videos, installations, documents, sounds and graphic or photographic gestures, it breaks away from linear narratives, allowing fragmented and interconnected narratives to emerge that reflect the history of international resistance.
