A brush with… Kader Attia—podcast

Kader Attia, the Algerian-French artist born in 1970, is the subject of a podcast interview that explores his three-decade career across photography, collage, sculpture, installation, and sound. Attia, who lives in Berlin and Paris, discusses his central concept of "repair" and how it connects to violence, injury, colonialism, and political issues. He reflects on his Algerian-French identity, his travels in Congo and Mexico, and his influences from Michelangelo to writers like Karima Lazali, Édouard Glissant, and Aimé Césaire. The podcast also highlights his current exhibitions, including "Shattering and Gathering our Traces" at Lehmann Maupin in New York, "The Lost Paradise" at Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo in Seville, and "A Descent into Paradise" at Museo Amparo in Puebla, Mexico, as well as his participation in the Bienal de São Paulo and the 24th Paiz Art Biennial.
