For over two decades, Kader Attia has worked with the concept of "repair" in his artistic practice. It allows him to investigate the dialectic between destruction and repair, in which repair is understood as a way of cultural resistance as well as a means for a society or a subject to reappropriate their history and identity. Raised in France and Algeria, Kader Attia studied philosophy and art in #Paris and Barcelona; today he lives and works in #Berlin and #Paris. In 2016, Kader Attia founded La Colonie in Paris' 10th arrondissement as a space for the exchange of ideas and discussions focusing on decolonization, not only of #people but also of knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Driven by the urgency of social and cultural reparation, it aims to reunite what has drifted apart or been broken. Since March 2020, La Colonie has been closed to the
public due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In March 2021, the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in #Berlin hosts the fourth part of a conference series initiated by #kaderattia, Ana Teixeira Pinto, and Giovanna Zapperi entitled The White West.
