Born in Saïda, Algeria, Lydia Ourahmane is a conceptual artist who maintains a practice spanning Barcelona, London, and Algiers. Her work frequently engages with the complexities of colonial history, state bureaucracy, and the physical traces left by human movement.

Her signature approach involves the use of found objects, sound, and large-scale installations to interrogate systems of power and displacement. By documenting the transit of materials, she creates works that serve as evidence of the invisible barriers and logistical challenges inherent in contemporary migration.

Ourahmane continues to receive international institutional recognition, with her work recently acquired by the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam for their collection presentation, Tomorrow Is a Different Day. Her inclusion in major museum collections underscores her role in contemporary discourse regarding global power dynamics.
