For Kheira,
Exhibition
From 10 October 2026 to 21 February 2027
Curator: Marie Cozette
Press preview and opening : 9 October 2026.
The exhibition For Kheira, by Nesrine Salem follows the artist’s residency at the Villa Medici in Rome in late 2025.
Through writing, poetry, video, performance, and installation, Nesrine Salem is developing a new exhibition for the Crac Occitanie informed by her research into mourning practices, funeral spaces, and intergenerational memories.
Nesrine Salem works at the intersection of two cultures, French and Algerian, while situating her voice and writing between three
languages—English, French, and Arabic—that intertwine and strengthen each other in her life and works.
The prix Occitanie Médicis
Nesrine Salem was the winner of the Prix Occitanie Médicis in 2025. She was selected by a jury of professionals and awarded a residency at the Villa Medici from November 2025 to January 2026.
Nesrine Salem is the eighth winner of this prize, created by
the Occitanie Region in partnership with the French Academy in Rome – Villa Medici.
