“ECHOES / أصداء ” Solo Exhibition at VOX POPULI - PHILADELPHIA
Kenza Bousseloub
Echoes explores themes around time, the history of Algerian women and the emotional labor and care within North African women’s communities. Bousseloub’s photography is experienced as snippets of important events, from family dinners to weddings, in a welcoming but disorienting fashion, outside of time and place.
The exhibition title refers to the consistent acts of strength and resistance by Algerian women, from taking part in the Algerian War of Independence against France, to the teachings and care they perform in influencing future generations. The exhibition shows varying age groups of women within an Algerian community, centering their voices when they have been overshadowed in historical narratives.
Echoes is the beginning of an archive project by Bousseloub to preserve these materials and ensure that the lessons taught by Algerian women reverberate into the future.
