Join us at Goldsmiths University for a conversation with artist Sadek Rahim and author and lecturer Nirmal Puwar.

The Mosaic Rooms and aria present the exhibition Intervening Space: From The Intimate To The World. The exhibition features work by Fayçal Baghriche, Amina Menia, Atef Berredjem, Hanan Benammar, Massinissa Selmani and Sadek Rahim.

Sadek Rahim will be in residence at The Mosaic Rooms for one month to develop a new site-specific work. Rahim’s work often intervenes in space, working site specifically to draw attention to liminal elements and invest with emotional affect. For this piece, the artist will explore the fine line which separates private from public, the outside world from the domestic interior. He will discuss the outcome of this residency and the exhibition with Nirmal Puwar.

Sadek Rahim is an Algerian artist whose work often combines photography and installation, technology and design. He graduated from the Fine Arts Academy of Beirut, Lebanon and holds a BA in Fine Arts from an MA in Fine Arts from Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design, London. Rahim has exhibited widely in Algeria and internationally.

Nirmal Puwar is a senior lecturer at the Sociology Department at Goldsmiths. She teaches Lefebvre, and De Certeau and is interested in re-routing and de-touring space. She curated ‘Noise of the Past’ in Coventry Cathedral.
