Nidhal Chamekh

Born in 1985 in Dahmani, Tunisia, Nidhal Chamekh graduated from the School of Fine Arts in Tunis and the University of Sorbonne in Paris. He continues to work and live between the two cities. Nidhal’s creations reflect on the times we inhabit. His artwork is situated at the intersections of the biographic and the political, the lived and the historical, the event and the archive. From drawing to installations, and from photography to videos, Nidhal Chamekh’s oeuvres dissect the constitution of our contemporary identity. His work has been in prestigious international shows, among these:  Comme un parfum d’aventure, MAC, Lyon (2020); Rencontres de Bamako (2019); HybrID, Kunsthaus, Hamburg (2019); Diaspora at Gome, CCA, Lagos (2019); Biennale d’Architecture, Orléans (2019); Dream City Bienniale, Tunis (2019; 2017); Art Biennal Sesc – Videobrasil, São Paulo (2019); The Armory Show, New York (2019); #Villamedicimylove, Villa Medici, Roma (2019); Memory Matters, Skissernas Museum, Lund (2018); Biennale di Venezia (2015); Biennale de Dakar (2014); Biennale de Lyon (2013); Dégagements, Institut du Monde Arabe, Paris (2012).
