Using a selection of films, photographs, installations and sculptures, Bourouissa brings together works that bear witness to various forms of violence stemming from colonialist ideologies. Whether it is everyday and trivialized or institutional, it is a violence that he and many other racialized people know and have suffered. Nevertheless, Bourouissa’s works are far from confrontational. On the contrary: while they allow us to immerse ourselves in the intimate sphere of their protagonists, they create a sense of humanity in which dignity triumphs over humiliation. Art becomes a strategy of defense and self-empowerment, enabling individuals to reclaim their history – be it a prisoner, a former patient of a psychiatric clinic, or Bourouissa’s aunt Noubia (photo), who migrated to Osnabrück and lived there until her death.
