"I actually came into the concept of repair initially by focusing on the context of colonialism and the processes of resistance; of cultural resistance as a kind of re-appropriation, which could be seen in the aesthetics produced by the colonized cultures—what we could call counter-reactions against this invading modernity." Kader Attia interviewed in Mousse Magazine, Injury and Repair, 10/05/2018, in: https://www.moussemagazine.it/magazine/injury-and-repair-kader-attia-2018/
