If you are an artist at heart, you can actually do it. Never, never give up. Never! There is hope that you can carry on no matter what. The future is art, art, art. It’s about culture and placement and it’s generational,also it is an international scene. But I wanted my art to scream to the world about what Algeria went through during the war. I think all artists work from a personal point of view. What I had in my heart was to do art, to actually support my country in some way. Women, we started really fighting for our identity as artists. I wanted to make a point, about the culture, about my cultural background.
