Elle a allumé le vif du passé (“She Lit the Fire of the Past”) is a monographic exhibition of work by Franco-Algerian artist and filmmaker Katia Kameli in the framework of Focus Femmes de la Saison Africa2020. Kameli’s approach is based on research: history and culture fuel her visual and poetic imagination. As part of the Saison Panafricaine devoted to presenting the viewpoint of African civil society both on the continent and in the Diaspora, it seemed necessary, especially in Marseille, to show the work of an artist who has focused on writing Algeria’s visual history in France and Algeria for two decades.
