The Archeology of Becoming

Samira Negrouche Monday, November 10, 2025 2025 Franke Visiting Fellow Lecture at the Whitney Humanities Center Welcome: Cajetan Iheka, Director, Whitney Humanities Center  Introduction: Jill Jarvis, Department of French Samira Negrouche draws from her current book-in-progress to unearth how Algerian authors shaped the nation’s voice and character in the wake of the Algerian War of Independence (1954–1962). Samira Negrouche is a critically acclaimed writer, poet, and translator born in Algiers, where she continues to live and work. Author of eleven poetry collections, several artists’ books, and a collection of essays, she engages with themes of memory and transmission, lost genealogies, borders, languages, identities, and trauma. Her poetry—translated into thirty languages—has been widely published and shortlisted for the Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry and the National Translation Award in Poetry. Negrouche is also known for creating live performances and experimenting with new forms of writing in collaboration with musicians, visual artists, and choreographers. During her time at the Whitney Humanities Center as a Franke Visiting Fellow, she is working on a new project titled “Archeology of Wounds and Identities,” which explores the shadows of postcolonial Algeria and addresses the invisible remnants of war and resistance whose echoes shape today’s multiple fragmentations and violence. The Franke Visiting Fellows Program is made possible by the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Franke.
