I had the immense honor of being selected as one of ten Algerian artists to participate in the collective exhibition "African Imprints," presented within the prestigious framework of the CANEX 2025 program during the Intra-African Trade Fair.
The event, a cultural cornerstone of the African Development Bank, was held at the Exhibition Palace (Safex) in Algiers from September 4th to 10th, 2025, creating a dialogue between artistic creation and pan-African economic ambition.
This exhibition embodied the power of art as a universal language. For the curator, "African Imprints is not merely a title; it is the expression of a deep sense of belonging to the African continent." Through various mediums, the exhibited works formed a vibrant human tapestry, transforming "difference into harmony."
