Women's mobility at play in the theatre of Algiers

Khadidja Boussaïd

and

Khadidja Markemal

In collaboration with Esma Mezoued

To represent female mobility in Algiers, it is important to consider both the traditional codes of Algerian society and the individual aspirations of Algerian women. Sociologist Khadidja Boussaïd and photographer Khadidja Markemal set out to meet the women of Algiers. They investigated their strategies for moving through the capital's public space, navigating the fine line between respect for traditional rules and emancipation. At the end of the exhibition, discover the Guided Audio Tour by sociologist Khadidja Boussaïd who presents her research on female mobility, and an Audio Tour by psychiatrist Esma Mezoued who gives her own outlook on the project.
