Adila Bennedjaï-Zou

Adila Bennedjaï-Zou is an author and sound artist. A radio producer at France Culture since 2015, where she frequently contributes to “Les pieds sur terre” and “LSD La Série Documentaire,” her work revolves around the idea of collective autobiography, articulating testimonies, archives, and first-person accounts. Based on the idea that private life is imbued with political stakes, she seeks to capture the places where the intimate and the collective meet. She was a fellow at the Villa Médicis in Rome in 2020-21.

During the Fellowship, Bennedjaï-Zou will be working on The Colon Cancer, a book project about the disease that affected both her body and her two countries.
