Sedira’s films represent a profound archival exploration of identity, and cultural activism. Born in 1963 to Algerian parents, her work is deeply rooted in her self-narration but also sheds light on broader, interconnected global anxieties surrounding cultural emancipation and diaspora.<\/p>\n
This exhibition of Sedira’s pioneering cinematic practice is centred on the award-winning Dreams Have No Titles<\/em> (2022), presented as a constructed full-scale cinema box in the Cultural Foundation’s atrium. Originally conceived for the French Pavilion at the 2022 Venice Biennale, Dreams Have No Titles<\/i> is an immersive installation comprising film, sculpture, photography and performance, that interweaves the artist\u2019s biography with activist films produced across France, Algeria and Italy in the 1960s and 1970s, a pivotal moment in the history of avant-garde film production.<\/p>\n Also featured are mise-en-sc\u00e8ne<\/em> (2019); Image Keepers<\/em> (2010); and Mother Tongue<\/em> (2002). These films all carry key concepts in the artist’s practice as they illustrate the complexities of migration, memory, and the intergenerational transmission of knowledge.<\/p>\n To 8 March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
