UPCOMING SHOW: ADRAR INU translates to ‘My Mountains’ in Tamazight. It is the title and the point of departure for this group exhibition at 201@105 Gallery.
Artist Reception: JULY 11, 6-9:30
The phrase, ‘I left my mountains’ carries a deeply personal significance, rooted in my family’s history. ‘Adrar Inu’, the song by the late Idir, a legendary Algerian Kabyle singer songwriter resonates with my mother, who is from the mountainside.
There is a voice that travels everywhere with me, memories left behind where I was born in Algeria and later emigrating to America with my parents. Here I share my language with only a few. continually reshaping my identity. I think of an onion plant that keeps getting cut. Each time, something new pushes through, in spite of the cutting. That root continues to grow.
This exhibition, that I guest curated, is about that kind of resilience and the particular joy of working alongside others, who came here like we all did, sharing that sense of struggle, emigrating. The works presented here by 8 other emerging women artists are evidence of minds at work and of stories that find mediums that ground them. To move and grow between worlds is to become fluent in translation, a language of noticing. The artists gathered here have each made that journey, across oceans, across languages and across disciplines and have made it their own.
Adrar Inu is guest curated by Anaïs Bouchatta, a 2026 graduate of Stevens Institute of Technology.
