Episode 16 visits Algeria to speak with Myriam Amroun and Khaled Bouzidi who established rhizome, an arts organisation in 2017. Their model has developed and now, with a space in a Haussmannian apartment block in downtown Algiers, they combine being both a commercial gallery and independent art entity. Rhizome’s programming focuses on supporting artists in Algeria and its diaspora with emphasis on intergenerational exchange. They’ve had a busy year showing at Art Dubai, Liste Art Fair Basel and Paris Internationale, among others. Myriam and Khaled discuss the challenges they’ve encountered and their long term ambitions.
