Baya was born Fatma Haddad (1931 - 1998), in Bordj el-Kiffan, a beachy suburb of the city of Algiers, at the North-Western tip of Africa. Orphaned by age 5, she was adopted as a teenager by Marguerite Camina Benhoura, a French intellectual who noticed Baya’s artistic talent from a young age. In her homes in Algiers and the South of France, Benhoura provided Baya with art materials and access to French and Maghrebi art magnates.

In 1947, when Baya was just 16, she was discovered by Aimé Maeght, an established French art dealer, and André Breton, who included Baya’s works in the Exposition Internationale du Surréalisme at Galerie Maeght in Paris. Almost overnight she caught the attention of Picasso and Matisse, among other prominent artists, for her colorful, spontaneous and “childlike” compositions. “Her work allows us to question so many different histories,” said curator Natasha Boas. “The outsider. The outlier. The woman artist.”

Boas decided on the title, “Baya: Woman of Algiers,” drawing from three points of inspiration: a book by Assia Djebar, the leading feminist theorist from the Maghrebi region of North Africa, titled Women of Algiers in Their Apartment; Picasso’s The Women of Algiers series (1955) inspired by Baya herself; and The Battle of Algiers, a 1966 film directed by Gillo Pontecorvo, based on events during the Algerian War (1954-62).

August in media

📚 reading

Femmes d'Alger dans leur appartement (Assia Djebar): a lucky find, very insightful and heartbreaking look in the condition of Algerian women during and after the independence of Algeria

Histoire des Treize (H. De Balzac): this man will give Paris the most compassionate and detailed characterization and then turn around and write women like that. Also how dare him sell this as a story of great conspiracy when it's just three men being douchebags about women and this secret society being mentioned for half a line at the end of the story.

Geranios en el balcón (Carolina Pobla): not my usual novel, but it flows really well and it's really human

Inochi urimasu [Life for sale/Vita in vendita] (Mishima Yukio): a surreal book, a quick read. I'm fascinated with Mishima's brain. There was something wrong going on with him.

Moby Dick (Melville): (it was a shortened version i bought for 1€ used) I devoured it and the wording of the ending is so chilling. I'm still reeling. Now I need to scavenge in the ff section because sure as hell someone has written some Ishmael/Queequeg.

Diary (Anne Frank): there is nothing I could say or add. Just a necessary book to read.

David Copperfield (Dickens): this is a Peggotty stan club now

The lion* (Kessel): honestly? I have no idea how to feel about this. A resounding 'mmh'

Mrs. Harris goes to Paris* (Gallico): if someone doesn't want to instantly protect, defend and cherish Mrs. Harris that's a red flag

The rainbow and the rose* (Shute): starts slow but becomes increasingly intriguing

Anatomy of a crime* (Dinneen): I could not put the book down. I was enthralled

*abriged version in a Reader's digest compilation I bought secondhand

Persuasion (Austen): I WILL REREAD THIS BOOK AS LONG AS I LIVE. LOVE STORY OF THE AGES. CONSTANTLY THINKING ABOUT THIS.

🎥 watching

Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008): Brendan Fraser will make the wackiest, most plasticky cgi look like a believable threat and I don't understand how

Sister act: you will say 'you have seen this movie thousands of times, how many more times will you watch it?' and I will say FUCK YOU THIS IS A MASTERPIECE

Sister act 2: BANGER AFTER BANGER AFTER BANGER FOR SISTER MARY CLARICE

Che Dio ci aiuti (s. 1): I somehow manifested a rerun of this first season. My powers know no match

Ou êtes-vous les porteuses de bombes ? Elles forment cortège, des grenades dans les paumes qui s'épanouissent en flammes, les faces illuminées de lueurs vertes... Où êtes-vous, les porteuses de feu, vous mes soeurs qui aurez dû libérer la ville... Les fils barbelés ne barrent plus les ruelles, mais ils ornent les fenêtres, les balcons, toutes les issues vers l'espace...

Zerda and the Songs of Forgetting dir. Assia Djebar

[le-malaise-du-moment]

Scenes from isolation

A lot of tea, candles, and sunbeams. Trying to soak up all the warmth I can lately.

I had checked The Mischief [La Soif] by Assia Djebar out of the library long ago, and in looking for a longer story to immerse myself in, picked it up and promptly devoured it. I had forgotten that kind of afterglow you get when you come up for air after a good book; this is precisely the feeling I've been trying to remember. The joy of reading, the immersion, the luxurious feeling of having lived another life. I love it.

Stanley Spencer, The crucifixion, 1958

  Nuvole

Nuvole, mie nuvole tremende, come batte il cuore, rimpianto e mestizia della terra nubi, nuvole bianche e silenziose, vi guardo all’alba con occhi pieni di lacrime e so che in me l’orgoglio e il desiderio, la crudeltà e il seme del disprezzo intrecciano il giaciglio per un sogno morto, e i colori più belli della mia menzogna occulta…
