Rejoignez-nous pour l'ouverture de Performing Colonial Toxicity, une exposition d'archives documentant le programme nucléaire secret de la France en Algérie pendant et après la Révolution algérienne (1954-62). Ce vaste projet de recherche, mis en place par l'historienne de l'architecture et expositrice Samia Henni, se déroule à travers une série d'assemblages audiovisuels, chacun composé de cartes, de photographies, de films, d'images fixes, de documents et de témoignages d'archives.
Samia Henni est historienne de l’architecture, exposante et pédagogue. Travaillant à travers des stratégies textuelles et visuelles, sa pratique interroge les histoires de l’environnement construit, détruit et imaginé – celles produites par les processus et mécanismes de colonisation, de déplacement forcé, d’armes nucléaires, d’extraction de ressources et de guerre.

Join us for the opening of Performing Colonial Toxicity, an archival exhibition documenting France's secret nuclear program in Algeria during and after the Algerian Revolution (1954-62). This vast research project, set up by architectural historian and exhibitor Samia Henni, unfolds through a series of audiovisual assemblages, each composed of maps, photographs, films, still images, archival documents and testimonies.
Samia Henni is an architectural historian, exhibitor and educator. Working through textual and visual strategies, her practice interrogates the histories of the constructed, destroyed and imagined environment – those produced by the processes and mechanisms of colonization, forced displacement, nuclear weapons, resource extraction and war.
