Aïcha Snoussi’s work tackles issues of deep-rooted narratives, authority, balances of power that shape history and social dynamics from a marginal perspective . She embraces drawing as a practice of proliferation, therefore occupying visual space-merging with installations made of sculptures and meticulously collected, engraved and assembled objects and organic materials. In her practice, crayons take the shape of a blade dissecting paper and concepts. She uses fiction to question memory, ruins, vestiges of the erased, gender norms and resistance. She digs within her mediums through an archeological approach pushing layers of an encyclopedia transformed into an anti- knowledge book or engraving bones in order to extract political content and singular languages.
