Koulounisation @ Battersea Arts Centre

Co-presented by Battersea Arts Centre and Shubbak Festival

A bold evening of storytelling where language sparks revolution.

In a witty performance lecture, French Algerian artist Salim Djaferi invites you on an investigation that explores the essence of colonialism.

Reflecting on his own heritage as well as collective trauma with sensitivity and humour, Koulounisation unravels the thorny story of the French occupation of Algeria using interviews, visuals and conversation to interrogate the way in which history is told as a question of perspective. 

‘Salim Djaferi delivers a masterful performance, with humour matched only by its intelligence.’ Le Soir

‘As funny as it is captivating and dynamic’ Libération
