Tate Britain has announced that French-Algerian artist Zineb Sedira will create the next Tate Britain Commission, her largest project to date, set to run from May 2026 to January 2027 in the museum's Duveen Galleries. Curated by Jessica Vaughan, the commission will feature a new site-specific work responding to the architecture and history of Tate Britain. Sedira, who represented France at the 2022 Venice Biennale with her acclaimed pavilion “Dreams Have No Titles,” is known for exploring themes of diaspora, memory, and identity through photography, video, and installation.

Zineb Sedira review: A chic ode to revolutionary cinema, brainy boozers – and exceptional berets

Zineb Sedira's exhibition at Tate Britain presents a cinematic and sculptural homage to La Cinémathèque Algérienne, the Algerian film archive founded in 1965 that became a hub for leftist African filmmakers. The show recreates a 1970s Algerian cafe in Paris, complete with a jukebox, books on revolutionary cinema, and a model movie theater screening a documentary about the archive's director, Boudjemaâ Karèche. Sedira, born in Paris to Algerian parents and based in London, weaves personal and political narratives to explore identity, diaspora, and the role of art in social change.
