// Can you tell us about the main themes and questions that guide your artistic and academic research?
My artistic and academic research focuses on identity construction, processes of identity formation, oral memory narratives, and urban memory as ways of understanding the relationships between people, places, and cultural heritage. Through interdisciplinary and participatory approaches, I investigate how personal and collective memories shape cultural identities and influence our perception of shared spaces.
// How do you explore these themes through your artistic practice, and how has your research evolved over time?
My work combines visual arts, installation, storytelling, performance, culinary heritage, and community engagement. By collecting oral histories, documenting everyday practices, and mapping urban memories, I create artistic experiences that reinterpret and transmit intangible cultural heritage while opening spaces for dialogue, reflection, and participation.
Since 2017, my research has been particularly dedicated to the cultural and culinary memory of North Africa. By bringing together anthropology, artistic practice, and cultural mediation, I seek to strengthen the connection between communities and their living heritage, while exploring art as a tool for preserving memory, questioning identity, and imagining new forms of collective belonging.
