Walls That Speak: Expressions, Graffiti, and Algerian Society

Walls That Speak: Expressions, Graffiti, and Algerian Society

In this episode of Zoralium Dialogues, we dive into the language of the city through its walls. Joined by Lydia and Moumen, we explore graffiti, street expressions, and the powerful messages they carry about Algerian society. From spontaneous words scribbled on corners to elaborate graffiti art, these walls reveal frustrations, dreams, and collective voices often overlooked. Together, we reflect on how they can be read not only as art but also as sociological texts — windows into the people’s realities, hopes, and struggles. This conversation invites us to look at Algiers differently, to question, to interpret, and to see beyond the surface.

Is Photography Really an Art ?

In today’s world, images are everywhere. With the rise of social media, one click is enough to document a memory, a feeling, or even a protest. But does this make photography an art form — or just a tool of documentation? In this episode of Zoralium Dialogues, I sit down with Nabil, Bedira, Noura, and Racha to question what makes a photograph “good,” who defines the standards of beauty and meaning in photography and art and how do social media and everyday snapshots change the value of photography? This conversation opens the floor to photographers, amateurs, and anyone who uses images to tell stories or make sense of the world.
