Imperial history often relies on the idea of temporality, assigning discrete units of time to the past, present and future. In Libya, Radouan Mriziga seeks to challenge this narrow view of time. Through his art, he seeks to reappropriate history, connecting it to the present and opening it up to a range of perspectives. The legacy of North African crafts, inventions, science, cultures and philosophy is traditionally passed down through the energy of nine performers. It resonates with Mriziga's family and with forms of Western knowledge and is celebrated in a human and artistic epic. Mriziga's work seeks to create a non-imperial potential history, one that can be experienced as a single unit and continuity of knowledge and universal flow.— Radouan Mriziga
