Lydia Ourahmane’s work ranges from spirituality and geopolitics to migration and the history of colonialism. She incorporates video, sound, performance, sculpture and installation, often working on a large or monumental scale with results that tend to continue outside exhibition spaces. Drawing on personal and collective narratives and experiences with extreme emotional sensitivity and the critical gaze, Ourahmane engages with broader institutional structures, such as surveillance, logistics, bureaucratic processes, and the ways in which these forces are recorded.
