Through the discovery of a lost Harki cemetery, an unmarked burial ground for the Algerian auxiliary troops who fought for the French during the Algerian war (1954-1962), Adila Bennedjaï-Zou, an indigenous Algerian/French woman, will try to understand how the colonial heritage runs through her and keeps her in a perpetual state of disloyalty towards one group or the other.
Adila Bennedjaï-Zou is an author and sound artist. A radio producer at France Culture since 2015, where she frequently contributes to “Les pieds sur terre” and “LSD La Série Documentaire,” her work revolves around the idea of collective autobiography, articulating testimonies, archives, and first-person accounts. Based on the idea that private life is imbued with political stakes, she seeks to capture the places where the intimate and the collective meet. She was a fellow at the Villa Médicis in Rome in 2020-21.
The Rendez-Vous de l’Institut Series is generously supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. You will find a full calendar of the Fellows’ Talks.
