Work
Brahmography is not just a visual language — it’s a methodology of memory. In the work of Ibrahim Attallihi, brahmography emerges as a hybrid practice rooted in collage, cultural heritage, and sonic image-making. Born in the Netherlands and raised between Amsterdam and the Rif Mountains, Attallihi weaves together fragments of Amazigh identity, diasporic histories, and experimental cinema.
Through installations, tour visuals, short films, and sound-image performances, his work disrupts linear narratives and reclaims space for ancestral memory in contemporary media. Whether collaborating with musicians like Yasiin Bey or crafting video essays, his practice is always one of excavation, remix, and resistance — a brahmographic map of who we’ve been, and who we might become.
Ventilator Cinema
Since 2023, I have been the coordinator and programmer of Ventilator Cinema, an independent film and performance space located in the iconic OT301 building in Amsterdam. With Pablo van Wetten and Ivo Schmetz As part of the Amsterdam Alternative collective, the cinema operates as a self-organized platform for experimental film, live media, critical dialogue, and interdisciplinary art.
Ibrahim curates programs that explore memory, decolonial perspectives, and sound-image relations — often inviting artists, researchers, and performers into conversation through screenings, talks, and hybrid events. With a background in media design and storytelling, his approach at Ventilator bridges underground cinema with social questions, cultural memory, and sonic experimentation.
Art Direction
Ibrahim approach to art direction blends visual storytelling with cultural narrative. With a background in media design and research, he has directed visuals for concerts, album artwork, benefit events, and video installations across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
His work is rooted in collaboration and concept-driven aesthetics, often merging archival material, contemporary culture, and historical references. Whether creating stage visuals for Yasiin Bey, curating benefit concerts like Brave Poets in London (2024), or designing album artwork (No Fear of Time, Forensics), his art direction is always site-specific, emotionally layered, and politically aware.
Video Productions
Ibrahim Attallihi’s video practice combines research, aesthetics, and political memory through the method he defines as Brahmography — a hybrid form of storytelling through collage, documentary, and experimental visuals. His video productions often explore themes of identity, resistance, migration, and Amazigh heritage, expressed through sound-image compositions across various platforms.
