“Kader Attia: Who Cares?”
A brochure essay for Kader Attia: Who Cares?
Haifa Museum of Art
June – October 2007
As a member of the North African (Algerian) community living in Paris (at that time), Kader Attia examined the problematic issues related to the tangle of identity conflicts experienced by Muslim immigrants to France. His artwork is anchored in the charged encounter between the immigrants’ Oriental culture and Western consumer culture. Deeply rooted within this duality, his work reflects upon the socio-political powder cake that is threatening French society from within, and upon the millions of Muslims who have lost all hope of integrating into it.
