Halida Boughriet. Out of Place

Personal exhibition catalogue Out of Place by the French-Algerian artist Halida Boughriet (Lens, 1980), by Silvia Cirelli, Officine dell'Immagine gallery, Milan, 16 May – 13 July 2019.

Always attentive to the exploration of sociocultural themes, identity, behavioral and geopolitical issues that concern current cultural history, Halida Boughriet translates into art the precariousness of a historical moment marked by the sense of uprooting, the lack of communication between people and the need to belong.
Arriving at authentic emotional essentiality and completely exposing human vulnerabilities, the narration of this young interpreter sees the body as the focal point of the entire creative path. In the spasmodic urgency of filling the void of a painful nomadic dynamism, the symbolism of the body therefore becomes a search engine and above all an allegory of the restitution of an identity.
