Zineb Sedira: Dreams Have No Titles

Whitechapel, London

Long-time Brixton resident Zineb Sedira represented France at the 2022 Venice

Biennale and scooped the Silver Lion, pipped to the top spot only by her former next-
door-neighbour Sonia Boyce, who was representing Britain. The Whitechapel show

which was projected in a back room. From time to time, parts of the set were brought
to life, as tango dancers pranced across the bar-room floor. HJ
