About the Project:
Kenza Bousseloub’s work explores themes of time and representation, capturing people and spaces in her hometown in Algeria, along with the emotional labor and care within North African women’s communities. In a society where gender hierarchy is firmly entrenched, her photography portrays moments such as family dinners and weddings. These photographs are presented in a way that feels both welcoming and disorienting, existing outside of time and place.
About the Photographer:
Känza Bousseloub is an Algerian-American artist who works in film, photography, and journalism. Although her artistry is generally based in the city of Philadelphia, she has created internationally subjective documentary projects and continues to do so locally as she grounds her work in personal stories where she aims to explore larger themes of cultural convergence, identity, and representation. Additionally, her research is centered on Algerian genealogies, womanhood, and colonization in archives and oral history. Kenza is a member of Batikh Batikh, an artist collective, pop-up cinema and gallery centering South West Asian North African (SWANA) women, queer and local artists in Philadelphia.
