The first edition of the national exhibition of plastic arts started on 25 February at the regional theatre Abdelkader Alloula of Oran. Its theme is "My Pen, My Identity". About twenty paintings are on display, belonging to disparate artistic movements, allowing a global vision of the contemporary Algerian artistic landscape. The participating artists are mainly based in Oran, but the wilayas of Khenchela, Tébessa, Batna, Tougourt and Aïn Temouchent are also represented.
The event, organised by the Abdelkader-Alloula regional theatre, the Ahmed Zabana National Public Museum, the Nadher publishing house and the Algerian Green Kheima cultural association, was inaugurated with the play "Euro Word", written and directed by Seghir Samia, president of the "Art Com" association, which deals with social issues.
Within the framework of this event, which ends on 27 February, an artistic workshop in the fields of sculpture and painting was scheduled at the Ahmed Zabana National Public Museum.
