For this first Algerian edition, originally scheduled for 2020 but postponed due to the pandemic, No Logo installs its collaborative and exhibition activities through a tour of the cities of Algiers, Oran and El Maleh. A series of workshops and artistic residencies throughout the month of September in the various cities, led by our artists and trainers associated with the project, then from October 05 to 14 our intriguing inflatable structure intrudes into the public spaces of the Jardin Botanique in Algiers and the Place de la Mairie in El Malah, to welcome residents and offer a place for exchange, discovery and artistic dissemination.

The Algerian stopover was made possible thanks to the considerable support of our local partner FOREM, and the active collaboration of the many partnerships established locally, AARC DAR ABDELTIF – ESBA ÉCOLE SUPERIEUR DES BEAUX-ARTS D’ALGER – MON AUTRE ECOLE – ARTISSIMO – THEATRE LA FOURMIE – CHIMBO – LIMITLESS CLUB – NOMAD CLUB – MAKERS LAB – TAHYA CINEMA – DIMA CINEMA – BROKK’ART – CLIQUE COLLECTIVE – ISMAS – LIBRE IMAGE – ATM – TRABENDO.

In collaboration with our partners in Algeria, this first edition of the project was built in three phases:

Meeting and scouting phase
Mediation work in target cities. Mapping and involvement of local players in the actions proposed by the project.
Skills transfer and artistic residency phase
A period of experimental workshops, focused on digital creation tools, in partnership with educational establishments and involving local artists and independent players.
Production of creative residencies, bringing together No Logo artists and invited national artists.
Final phase, Tourné No Logo
Crossing disciplines and aesthetics, the No Logo tour crosses partner cities, deploying inside La Bulle, a nomadic inflatable structure built with city students and set up in the public space.
The presence of No Logo provides a festive focal point, while offering local residents a space open to dialogue, learning and artistic dissemination. Introductory workshops, Cartes Blanches with local artists and players, concerts by guest artists and performances based on the results of experimental workshops.

No Logo is implemented with the support of the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture – AFAC, thanks to a grant from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation – SDC.
