In this Magazine Programme, our Editor and Presenter, Mounira Chaieb features Kader Attia a French-Algerian artist who exhibits his work for the first time in the UK; The Exhibition is called “The Museum of Emotion”. He uses sculptures, collections, videos and photographs to show case the control put by western societies and how colonialism continues to shape how Western societies represent and engage with non-Western cultures and offers a passionate critique of modern Western systems of control that define everything from traditional museology to the design of modernist social housing’. The Artists captures moments experienced in the course of a precarious and difficult existence and explores strong emotions such as joy, fear and humiliation as a way of healing rather than a source of conflict.
