1. ‘La misère est si belle’ by PNL
PNL is an important Rap duo who have created their own myth with their cinematic music videos, French North African, references and poetic lyrics. This song from the album Deux Frères is all about a sad and political feeling related to the experience of being Arabic.
2. Sissi Club, Marseille
Sissi is a wonderful independent art space based in Marseille and run by art historians Anne Vimeux and Elise Poitevin. The goal of the space is to promote artistic productions by young artists. It’s a space in which I have had the chance to perform and launch my book fantaisie finale and it directly felt like home.
3. Atlantics by Mati Diop
Atlantics is a dreamy zombie movie about belonging, migration and love set in Dakar (Senegal). I literally cried watching this fantastic and sensitive film, the soundtrack is by the talented Fatima al Qadiri. I also think it’s an important movie for my generation with all its references, subtexts and aesthetics.
