Come and celebrate the opening of Kader Attia with us!
Last year’s recipient of France’s most prestigious art award, Le Prix Marcel Duchamp, French-Algerian artist Kader Attia proposes that the more we understand of our history, the better we can participate in society.
Attia’s genre-defying practice explores ideas of cultural exchange, appropriation and the tangled relationship between extra-Occidental cultures and the West in the wake of decolonisation.
Kader Attia is presented with the Melbourne Festival in association with the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia
Curator: Rachel Kent, Chief Curator, MCA
