Decolonizing Minds — The Blida-Joinville Chronicles (Fanon, 1953–56)
The revolution doesn’t only happen in the streets — it happens in the mind.
This second edition of Fanon with Decolonizing Minds centers on the first feature film about Frantz Fanon — psychiatrist, writer, and one of the most influential anti-colonial thinkers of the 20th century.
Set in 1953 Algeria under French rule, the film follows Fanon’s work inside the Blida-Joinville psychiatric hospital, where he challenged colonial structures not just politically, but psychologically — exposing how oppression shapes the human psyche.
Blending fiction and documentary, director Abdenour Zahzah reconstructs a “living memory” where medicine, resistance, and liberation intersect.
🎤 Post-screening talk

The exhibition opens on April 24 and runs until September 27, 2026.
