This solo exhibition by French-Algerian artist Zineb Sedira is based on a reflection on the utopias of the 1960s, placing culture and resistance side by side.
Through her work, Zineb Sedira (b. 1963), a French-Algerian artist based in London and Paris, reflects profoundly on themes such as migration, history and the partiality of official histories, making use of autobiographical narrative, fiction and documentary.

This exhibition is based on a reflection on the utopias of the 1960s, in the context of the new African independence and liberation struggles, placing culture and resistance side by side.

The title ‘Standing Here Wondering Which Way to Go’ quotes a song performed by African-American gospel singer Marion Williams at the Pan-African Festival in Algiers in 1969, around which the project is centred.

‘Standing Here Wondering Which Way to Go’ is a project commissioned by CAM, together with the Jeu de Paume, Paris, France; and the IVAM, Valencia, Spain; and the Bildmuseet, Umeå, Sweeden. The exhibition is co-produced with Tabakalera Centro Internacional de Cultura Contemporánea, San Sebastian.
