Présences croisées — Crossed Presences — lilia ben salah Gallery — Exhibition — Slash Paris

In 7 days: June 27 → July 26, 2025

In continuity with its curatorial focus, Galerie lilia ben salah is pleased to present Présences croisées — Crossed Presences, a collective exhibition gathering seven women artists whose journeys span generations and geographies.

From historical figures such as Baya Mahieddine, Amal Abdenour, and Fêla Kefi-Leroux, to contemporary voices including Zoulikha Bouabdellah, Farah Khelil, Katayoun Rouhi, and the emerging scene represented by Emma Ben Aziza, this constellation explores the fertile tensions between heritage and reinvention, memory and creation.

Their works resonate with the struggles, cultural circulations, and the aesthetic and political dynamics experienced by Arab women artists in Paris, reviving the echoes of a history in constant evolution.
