The Gallery
A Space Dedicated to Culture
The Fondation culturelle Ahmed et Rabah Asselah makes its gallery available to host a wide range of artistic and cultural initiatives.
As new projects come forward, the gallery comes to life and takes on different forms, hosting exhibitions, screenings, gatherings, literary cafés and creative workshops.
Through these varied activities, the Foundation pursues a consistent aim: to encourage artistic creation, foster discovery and exchange, and help make culture accessible to as many people as possible.
A Gallery Open to the City
In the heart of Algiers-Centre, the gallery draws the eye of passers-by. Through its windows, artworks spark curiosity and offer a glimpse of the diversity of its exhibitions. Visible from the street, the façade becomes a first encounter with art, even before visitors step inside.
Inside, the gallery's intimate scale encourages a direct relationship with the artworks. Visitors can appreciate their details, take time to contemplate them and exchange impressions about what they discover. As exhibitions change, so do the styles, techniques and artistic sensibilities, lending each visit its own distinctive character.
A Space Devoted to Exhibitions
The gallery welcomes both solo and group exhibitions, offering space to artists, creative approaches and a wide range of artistic sensibilities.
Figurative paintings, abstract compositions and other forms of artistic expression come together throughout its programme. Each exhibition gives the space a new character and offers visitors the opportunity to discover new artistic worlds.
Beyond presenting the artworks, these exhibitions help bring artists to wider public attention and encourage ongoing dialogue around artistic creation.
When the Gallery Takes on New Forms
The purpose of this space goes beyond exhibitions. As cultural events unfold, the gallery changes its layout and welcomes other forms of artistic expression, dialogue and encounter.
For the duration of a screening, the gallery becomes a small cinema, welcoming films, documentaries and video art. On other occasions, it becomes a place for conversation and ideas, hosting literary cafés, meetings with authors and public debates.
This versatility brings different artistic worlds closer together and encourages direct exchanges between speakers, artists and audiences.
Creating and Sharing
The Foundation's cultural life also involves making art. Through its workshops, the space invites participants to discover techniques, experiment and enjoy the act of creating.
These participatory experiences offer another way to engage with art: not simply by looking at artworks, but by taking part in the creative process, in a spirit of curiosity and exchange.
