LIKE THE SEA

Narimane Baba Aïssa is a musician and filmmaker of sound documentaries. She performs in several ensembles that navigate between classical music and experimental rock. Fascinated by the diversity that sound material has to offer, she builds aesthetic bridges between documentary and music. Her work weaves connections between intimate and political memory, seeking traces of the dead in the world of the living. 

"Tibratin – Les lettres", her first sound documentary, tells the story of her grandmother, who was exiled from Algeria, in her quest to find the graves of her family members who came from Belgium. *Algérie Chouhada*, winner of the Brouillon d’un Rêve Sonore Grant from SCAM in 2019, chronicles a back-and-forth journey between France and Algeria during the social movement of Hirak, intertwined with a search for childhood memories.
