Lazhar Mansouri at the Centre de la Vieille Charité, Marseille, France

Group Exhibition: Tatouage: Histoires de la Méditerranée

Photographs by Algerian photographer Lazhar Mansouri will be featured in an upcoming exhibition by Les Musées de Marseille. Tatouage: Histoires de la Méditerranée explores the art and practices of tattooing from Antiquity to contemporary culture in the Mediterranean region.

 

Mansouri’s photographs capture the fading tradition and history of face tattooing among Amazigh (Berber) women. The studio portraits on view in Marseille were taken from approximately the 1950s to 1970s at Mansouri's studio in Aïn Beïda, Algeria.
