Berirouche Feddal
studio@berirouche.ca

Born in Rouiba in 1996 and raised between Algiers and Irdjen, his parents’ Kabyle village, Berirouche Feddal was ten when he landed in Pointe-aux-Trembles, at the eastern tip of Tiohtià:ke. He now works between Montréal, London and Algiers, and is pursuing an MFA at Goldsmiths. His practice is a souk where nothing settles: abstract and figurative, object and performance, war and colour, Pan-Africanism and its violence. Stadium chants become protest songs; gold and wheat ask to be worshipped. He works with what time leaves behind: rusted objects, henna rusting in the elders' hair, relics of childhood that hide inherited horrors. Kardoune, devotional symbols and burned wood carry the voices of parents and villagers, the afterlives of colonial history, the ghosts that refuse to leave. His colour began underfoot, on his grandmother's carpets. His work talks to the dead, leaves space empty, and allows itself to forget.

Excerpts
Dounia Bouzidi
Vie des arts, 2025
« Berirouche Feddal ne cherche pas à hiérarchiser les récits ; il les fait coexister avec justesse, les lie ensemble comme les kardounes de ses installations. »
“Berirouche Feddal does not rank the stories; he lets them coexist with precision, binding them together like the kardounes of his installations.”
Amélie Revert
Le Devoir, 2024
« Pour Berirouche Feddal, le bleu est amer. »
“For Berirouche Feddal, blue is bitter.”
Nicholas Dawson

« Il me laisse toucher à tout, au bois gravé, aux imprimés, aux éclats de verre d’une lampe Murano brisée, même à un tapis de prière fabriqué par sa grand-mère, usé à l’endroit où ses genoux reposaient lorsqu’elle priait. »
“He lets me touch everything: the engraved wood, the prints, the shards of a broken Murano lamp, even a prayer rug made by his grandmother, worn where her knees rested when she prayed.”
Nicholas Dawson

« Je remarque, en sortant de son atelier, que je suis entièrement habillé de bleu, comme si ma présence à elle seule lui avait donné raison. »
“Leaving his studio, I notice that I am dressed entirely in blue, as if my presence alone had proved him right.”
