Lydia Ourahmane, born in Saïda, Algeria, now lives in London and works between the UK and Algeria.

Her artistic practice involves new media, videos, public interventions, lessons, performances, sculptures and found objects, and explores youth and transitory existences, surveillance and social and political structures. Her works are mainly aimed at individuals’ ability to overcome the historical narratives in which they are incorporated, many of which concern the history and present of Algeria.
