Description

Poetics of Repair examines how contemporary visual, literary, and performance art transforms the narrative around colonial-era modernist mass housing in the Maghreb. Katarzyna Pieprzak's study, published by Duke University Press, investigates three pivotal mass housing sites that represent the French colonial geography of modernist architecture across North Africa and France. Rather than viewing these crumbling concrete structures solely as spaces of social alienation and containment, Pieprzak explores how contemporary artists are reshaping the terms, histories, and imagined futures of mass housing in the region. This academic work bridges art history, postcolonial studies, and architectural criticism, offering readers a deeper understanding of how creative practices engage with the legacies of colonial modernism and envision new possibilities for these contested urban spaces.

Key Features

Poetics of Repair focuses on visual, literary, and performance art practices from the Maghreb that reclaim colonial housing narratives.

Katarzyna Pieprzak analyses three mass housing sites representing French colonial modernist architecture in North Africa and France.

The book challenges conventional views of colonial-era housing as broken spaces, instead framing them as subjects of artistic intervention.

Readers gain insight into how contemporary creative practices reshape the futures and meanings of mass housing in the Maghreb region.
