Lydia Ourahmane

thumb|Portrait by César Segarra Lydia Ourahmane (born 1992) is a conceptual artist based in Barcelona, London and Algiers. Ourahmane's practise addresses how contemporary issues; geopolitics, migration and the histories of colonialism are registered on the body. Drawing on personal and collective narratives she incorporates video, sound, performance, sculpture and installation on an often large or monumental scale that have consequences beyond the walls of her exhibitions.

Ourahmane challenges broader institutional structures through logistics and bureaucratic processes. Her work was included in the 60th Venice Biennale, 15th Gwangju Biennale, 15th Istanbul Biennial (2017), 34th Bienal de São Paulo (2021), New Museum Triennial and Manifesta 12, Palermo (2018).
