Houria Niati (born 1948 in Khemis Miliana, Algeria) is a contemporary artist.[1] She specializes in mixed media installations that criticize Western representations of nonwestern cultures and peoples.[2] Her installations notably have live performances as a key visual representation of Niati's homeland and culture.[1] Her installations and exhibitions joined together paintings, sculptures, drawings, photos, sound tracks, and performances.[1]
Early life
Niati grew up in French-occupied Algeria, where over one million Algerians were killed for resisting occupation.[1] When Niati was only twelve years old, she demonstrated against French colonialism with her anti-colonial graffiti, which landed her in jail.[1] Niati's experiences with the French occupation and eventual revolution of her people greatly influenced her art later in life.[1]
Career
Niati moved to London in the late 1970s, where she observed Western art that depicted Algerian people, especially women, in a fictionalized and exotic way.[1] This influenced her own depictions of post-colonial cultures, nations, and people.[1]
