Pour Noubia: Holding space for Personal histories.

French-Algerian artist Mohamed Bourouissa presents 'Pour Noubia' at the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Zurich, an exhibition centered on the story of his aunt Noubia. Through photography, film, installation, and collaborative practice, Bourouissa explores themes of visibility, migration, and collective memory, intertwining fiction and documentary to challenge dominant historical and media narratives.

The exhibition is part of the Migros Museum's 2026 program dedicated to solidarity, offering a space where personal histories become a lens for examining identity, representation, and social cohesion. By resisting fixed narratives, Bourouissa invites viewers to consider how images can counter erasure and foster new forms of relation, making the show a timely reflection on belonging in a world structured by exclusion.
