Kader Attia talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Attia was born in 1970 in Dugny, France, and lives in Berlin and Paris. He grew up between the French capital and Bab el Oued, a suburb of Algiers in Algeria, and his Algerian-French identity and the culture and history of Europe and North Africa—the global north and south—have profoundly informed his subject matter and materials. His work across three decades in photography, collage, sculpture, installation and sound, is concerned with a central concept: repair. By association, the notion of repair is inevitably connected with violence and injury. Within this overarching theme, he explores political and social issues in the present and the complex legacies of colonialism. While directly addressing particular historical and current moments, his work is rich in metaphor, and he considers this poetic aspect crucial to art's ability to effect social change. Attia regards his output as the evidence of an ongoing process of research, but despite its fundamentally philosophical and textual genesis, it is often dramatic visually and experientially.He reflects on what he calls the “menemonic traces” and ghosts present through his work, explains why he feels the gaze is a bodily phenomenon beyond the ocular, and discusses the importance of his trips while a young person in Congo and Mexico. He talks about his early interest in Michelangelo's drawings, his engagement with writers from the psychoanalyst Karima Lazali to the poets Édouard Glissant and Aimé Césaire, and the cathartic power of music. Plus he gives insight into his life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Kader Attia: Shattering and Gathering our Traces, Lehmann Maupin, New York, until 20 December; Kader Attia.

Springbok captain Siya Kolisi says Wales will get a well prepared South African side when the two sides meet in Cardiff on Saturday in the final match of the international season. The Springboks are shooting for a second successive unbeaten end of year tour, and enter their final match of the year as the overwhelming favourites against Wales. Meanwhile in continental soccer....Mamelodi Sundowns earned a valuable Champions League away point after they played to a goalless draw with Algerian side MC Alger at the Ali La Pointe Stadium LAST NIGHT. While Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso appears happy with the result, this is not what Rulani Mokwena was looking for as Alger are struggling with one point from two matches. Sundowns may be overtaken at the top of Group C by Al Hilal who take on Saint-Éloi Lupopo tomorrow. Chiefs will TODAY host Egyptian side Zamalek FC in the second game of the Group D encounter at Peter Mokaba stadium in Polokwane this afternoon. To look at these matches, Jon Gericke spoke to Mathews Mpete, SABC soccer analyst
The revolution continues on Vintage Cinema Rewind. This week, Blake and Michael are back with their Deep Dive on the recently-trending The Battle of Algiers! As the hunt for Blake continues, the people of Algeria find themselves caught in a hail of gunfire. But as Michael narrows in on his target, Blake takes a moment to question both his methods and the true impact of violence upon the native populace. And with his own execution drawing near and the rebels truly find a better way, can the residents of Algeria find a better way? Or will their home become little more than a barrow?

You've probably heard of Ruby Bridges, the first grader who helped desegregate New Orleans' public schools in 1960.But have you heard of the three other girls who desegregated another local elementary school that same morning? Aubri Juhasz takes us to that school — now a museum — where students are learning why the fight for equitable education isn't over.The acting head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, has resigned. David Richardson only spent about six months in the position, and was known for being inaccessible during the early hours of the Texas flood disaster over the summer.Sarah Labowitz, senior fellow in the Sustainability, Climate and Geopolitics program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, tells us more about what this means for the agency. The holidays are usually a season of joy — family gatherings, big meals and celebration. But for people in recovery, it can be one of the hardest times of the year. Stress, travel, financial pressure and constant social drinking all add up. Relapse rates spike between December and January.Two people who know that struggle personally are Dan Forman and Chris Copeland. They're both in long-term recovery and the co-founders of NOLA Detox, a New Orleans–based recovery center that's reimagining what addiction treatment can look like. The Gulf States Newsroom's Drew Hawkins sat down with them to discuss strategies to stay sober through the holidays, and what families can do to support struggling loved ones.—Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

Get yourself a couple of small beers, pop The Battle of Algiers on and enjoy a (French) 75 minutes with Graham and Simon talking about arguably THEE film of 2025 - Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another. The story of a gone-to-seed revolutionary fighting to protect his daughter from a simultaneously ridiculous and plausible nemesis, it's a big-budget epic with the soul of a weird little cult political satire.It also has tons of musicians in the cast, from an attention-grabbing role for Teyana Taylor to the drummer from Haim, and several others you might have missed. We'll guide you through all its cameos and real-life inspirations, as well as talking about what it takes - and what it cuts - from its source novel, Thomas Pynchon's Vineland. Plus, we pitch the Pop Screen New Testament...If you want to be part of a club just as exclusive as - but substantially less right-wing than - the Christmas Adventurers, we've got a Patreon where we're about to drop an exclusive episode of this very show concerning the Kinks and the origins of a British TV classic... Plus, written articles on The Twilight Zone and Doctor Who, an end-of-month round-up podcast called Last Night... and some exciting new features coming for 2026.

Vintage Cinema Rewind is back with yet another classic of international cinema! This week, they're covering The Battle of Algiers, the iconic docudrama that was referenced in Paul Thomas Anderson's acclaimed One Battle After Another. As the iron grip of colonialism tightens around Algeria, Blake--a young street thug--is drafted into the rebellion. But as the city around them becomes a scarred mess of cinder and barbed wire, are they truly helping the native populace? And when Michael--a French commander--is brought in to sniff out the freedom fighters, can they still win the hearts and minds of their people? Or will they end up forced back into the shadows?

In this collaboration between Guerrilla History and the Adnan Husain Show, Adnan has a wonderful conversation with a remarkable radical activist, Elaine Mokhtefi, as part of our ongoing series of interviews with living historical revolutionaries. Elaine Mokhtefi is author of "Algiers, Third World Capital: Freedom fighters, Revolutionaries, Black Panthers." This fascinating discussion retraces Elaine's early political engagement with the FLN mission to the UN, her decision to move to Algeria to help build the postcolonial nation after liberation from France, her experiences as a translator and journalist covering the transnational movements for liberation across the Global South, and work with the Black Panthers exiled in Algiers. She danced with Fanon, met radical third world leaders, and struggled for a better world. Now in her 90's, she remains an inspiring and committed activist. A lot to learn in this conversation!

The war has made that transition nearly impossible.

20 years ago this week Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the Gulf Coast. On August 29th, the levees broke and created a humanitarian crisis rarely seen before, seen too often now. Over 1800 people died and over a million evacuated with hundreds of thousands being permanently displaced in the aftermath. In the neighborhood of Algiers, a group of anarchists and radicals started the Common Ground Relief to provide mutual aid to the communities impacted by the hurricane, but also by their places in the margins of New Orleans. Over 100,000 volunteers passed through New Orleans over a three year period and it became to largest anarchist inspired organization in modern U.S. history. In our latest, we talk with one of the co-founders of Common Ground, and one of our long time homies, scott crow about Hurricane Katrina, Common Ground and the "long slow history of disaster." We discuss the themes of collective liberation, mutual aid and direct action and how they fit into that history.

In this episode of the show we are discussing another off-kilter Richard Lester movie, the 1979 Cuba. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how this movie connects to Casablanca and The Battle of Algiers, how important it is to make sure the chemistry between two romantic leads is undeniably there and whether the post-Bond Sean Connery was the man to evoke it. We also talk about how Lester finds frightening absurdity in the reality of pre-evolution Cuba, how the movie wants to be Dr. No for a brief second and how narrative indecision may be its undoing.

For centuries, the Barbary Corsairs captured ships and enslaved European Christians, turning the Mediterranean into a sea of fear and ransom. Backed by the rulers of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli, the corsairs built vast fortunes—and even empires. But in 1816, after failed diplomacy and mounting outrage, Britain struck back.Dan tells the story of the fiery bombardment that shook Algiers to its core and marked the beginning of the end for Barbary piracy.

Alex Ashe's story doesn't begin behind a camera. It begins with a battered lighting technician's manual clutched between takes, with sweat on his brow and questions on his tongue. From long nights rigging lights to quiet hours studying lenses, Ashe's climb through the grip and electric department shaped the sensibility he brings to the frame today. Now a cinematographer and director, his images carry that hard-earned precision and a belief that light is never neutral. In this episode, Ashe discusses the layered politics of light and shadow, from his work on Nosferasta, an anti-colonial Rastafarian vampire epic, to The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire, shot almost entirely on 16mm in the relentless Florida sun. His collaborations with artists like Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich and Ira Sachs open a conversation about the deep trust between director and DP, where every decision—from pulling the exposure to choosing glass—is both a technical and philosophical one. But this is also the story of a filmmaker who questions images even as he makes them. Ashe grew up in the age of Netflix DVDs and arrived at cinema through theory, through The Battle of Algiers, through late-night rewinds. His education in Modern Culture and Media and Africana Studies taught him to interrogate the frame—and that mindset infuses all his work, whether shooting the surreal aftermath of a police shooting or chasing natural light in a cramped apartment. Visual Intonation is a show about how we see, and in this conversation, Ashe shows us how cinema can still be both a document and a dream. We talk risk, reverence, and the beauty of shooting on film. No gimmicks. Just a love for the image and the meaning inside it.

In een bloedhete huiskamer nemen we vandaag een verhaal op over de Barbarijse kaapvaart. Een verhaal over verschuivende macht en tradities tussen Europa, het Ottomaanse Rijk en de Noord Afrikaanse vazallen Tripoli, Algiers en Tunis. Complexe materie met een lange geschiedenis en misschien een nog wel langer koloniaal naleven. Gelukkig kunnen Tim en Paul samen ten strijde trekken met Erik de Lange (Universiteit Utrecht) hij promoveerde op dit onderwerp en schreef het boek ‘De Laatste dagen van Barbarije - hoe piraterij verdween van de Middellandse Zee' Afbeelding: Martinus Schouman, Het Bombardement van Algiers (1823, Rijksmuseum)
In episode 17 of (Pop) Cultural Marxism, Ajay and Isi once again find themselves in the regrettable position of praising the Walt Disney Company. After chatting about recent cultural highlights (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a 40th anniversary screening of Kurosawa's Ran, and a Criterion retrospective on Johnnie To), they consider the popular and critical success of Andor's second season, and ask what it means to describe a pop cultural text as “politically timely.” Their conversation turns to extratextual ecosystems (press junkets, interviews), Gilroy's deep engagement with cinematic depictions of fascism and rebellion (Army of Shadows, The Conformist), architecture and costume design, season 2 high points (the Ghorman Massacre, Mon Mothma's Senate speech), the politics of revolutionary alliances, and imperial bureaucracy. Finally, they consider how the show makes the transition—narratively, visually, musically—into the lore-dense timeline of Rogue One and A New Hope, and ponder its uncharacteristically fascistic final scene.

On the latest episode of Hyperspace Theories, Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester continue their analysis of Season Two of the Disney+ streaming series Andor: A Star Wars Story with a discussion centered on the Ghorman storyline heavily featured across Episodes 4 to 8 and culminating in the eighth episode focused entirely on the the tragedy of the Ghorman Massacre. One major theme of this storyline is the power of propaganda, introduced in the first Imperial scenes of the season's first episode. We then consider other forms of Imperial manipulation of the events on Ghorman, and the ideas Andor presents about oppression and resistance through the lens of Imperial military occupation, the Ghorman Front and public opposition, and the role of Luthen's agents on the road to the Massacre. These themes and ideas are reflected across the characterization and character arcs of numerous individuals in these episodes, including Cassian, Luthen, and Wilmon; Vel and Cinta; Dedra, Syril, and Partagaz; and even Mon Mothma and Director Krennic. We also examine how the various new characters from Ghorman – particularly Carro Rylanz, Enza Rylanz, Samm, Thela, and Lezine – illustrate the themes and ideas of the storyline, and how their experiences of oppression and resistance influence their decisions and actions leading up to, and during, the Massacre. In media appearances promoting Andor Season Two, creator and showrunner Tony Gilroy has spoken extensively about the real-world influences on his storytelling in the series, especially his lifelong passion for reading and learning about revolutions across the world and throughout history. Our discussion considers several of these influences, such as wartime propaganda, especially in the twentieth century. Gilroy also references both the French Resistance to Nazi occupation during World War II and the subsequent Algerian resistance to French colonial control in subsequent decades, portrayed in the classic film The Battle of Algiers (1966), which influenced the visual style of the eighth episode in particular. We also point out connections to the American Revolution, French Revolution, and Haitian Revolution, and the significance of Gilroy's mentions of Oliver Cromwell and the Baader-Meinhof Group. Like George Lucas, who drew heavily on fictional and nonfictional influences when first creating his ideas for the initial Star Wars films, Tony Gilroy's Andor contains an insightful and impactful combination of fiction and nonfiction inspirations.

Free preview cross-over with the Bang-Bang Podcast. Van and Lyle kick off their Andor series with Slate culture editor Jenny G. Zhang, diving into the show's slow-burn opening arc where imperial bootlickers, jealous love interests, and rebels in the making collide on the Outer Rim. They discuss what makes Andor—a property of the Star Wars universe—feel different than its franchise kin, from its social realism to its psychological bite. If The Battle of Algiers looms large, so does Parable of the Sower, especially the show's landscape of authoritarian company towns and the simmering hints of a revolutionary break.They talk about the Preox-Morlana security force as East India Company meets Blackwater, and Deputy Inspector Syril Karn as the story's omnipresent archetype—the insecure man desperate to matter. Just like the pathetic rent-a-cops Andor is forced to kill, and the equally envious Timm Karlo, another tragic loser who dies trying to make up for his fateful angst.History appears to turn not so much on generals and emperors, but on the choices and contradictions of broken men. Men stuck in systems they didn't build, and whose real breaking is yet to come.Check out the Bang-Bang Podcast and subscribe: https://www.bangbangpod.com/Further ReadingJenny's websiteJenny on BlueskyJenny on Twitter“The Andor Dilemma: Pop Culture's Place in Leftist Strategy,” by Van Jackson“Introducing Andor Analysed, Part 1,” by Jamie WoodcockThe Battle of Algiers EpisodeParable of the Sower, by Octavia ButlerThe Hundred Years' War on Palestine, by Rashid Khalidi

Danny and Derek speak with Lydia Walker, historian at Ohio State University, about her book States-in-Waiting: A Counternarrative of Global Decolonization. The group discusses narratives of decolonization that Lydia wanted to challenge before exploring the “transnational advocacy network” and non-state actors she features in the book like Naga nationalist leader Angami Zapu Phizo, Indian politician Jayaprakash Narayan, anti-apartheid minister Michael Scott, the latter two's World Peace Brigade and “anti-Algiers” initiative, and more.

In this final episode of our series on the Barbary Wars, we look at the fates of the Barbary States. After 1815, the Barbary States lost their independence, with Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, and Morocco succumbing to European powers through military defeats and colonization, culminating in French and Spanish protectorates by the 19th century. We also look at how the Barbary Wars placed the United States on a pathway to global naval hegemony.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The conclusion of the War of 1812 elevated America's naval reputation and marked the start of the "Era of Good Feelings," a period of national pride. With peace restored, President Madison redirected attention to the Barbary pirates, who had exploited American merchant ships during the war. Furious at the enslavement of American sailors, Madison secured Congressional approval to wage war against Algiers in early 1815. Naval leaders like Stephen Decatur achieved swift victories, leveraging military strength to negotiate treaties that ended tribute payments and secured favorable terms for the U.S. Decatur's diplomacy extended to Tunis and Tripoli, compelling restitution for captured ships and releasing enslaved Europeans, bolstering America's global standing. The Second Barbary War showcased the growing might of the U.S. Navy, earning respect from European powers and silencing earlier British doubts about American resilience. Celebrations of naval triumphs at home solidified national identity, while the treaties reflected America's emergence as a formidable maritime force.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
