Katia Kameli

Katia Kameli (Arabic: كاتيا كميلي; born 1973) is a French-Algerian visual artist who works mainly in film and video. Her primary artistic focus is the subject of Algeria, and she has used film to explore Algerian history, culture and politics. Quotes Sewing is gathering, recreating, repairing, a parallel to Algerian identity itself and its histories. Fire drives our thirst for freedom and our feelings. The Revolution of the Smile, it is thus a ‘all fire all flame’ of dynamism, an intellectual and creative elan which crackles in us and becomes a light, a lighthouse. A fire that goes out is equivalent to oblivion. My work is grounded in my own experience and my plural identity.
