Editions Motifs
Algeria
Literature
Motifs is a young publishing house founded by Maya Ouabadi in Algiers in 2018. Editions Motifs whose name (in French) refers first to the motives that inspire action, but also to the aesthetics and the patterns that adorn and decorate it. In their publications, they try to combine the two aspects by proposing content (literary criticism magazines, feminist journals, printed documents and stories, artist books and notebooks) which by the specificity of their format or their tone do not necessarily find their place in the Algerian literary and journalistic landscape.

Our desire stems from creating a dynamic collective among the three of us to join our strengths and expertise with a bid to impact the Algerian cultural scene in a creative manner. Our two year collaborative project will involve a series of conferences to be held in Algiers, Oran, and in Kabylie region tackling contemporary problems which will be captured, recorded, dubbed, and disseminated on a wide scale via the internet in the form of sounds and videos. The aim of this project is not to hold a series of recurrent conferences but rather as a “Multi-disciplinary visual” ecosystem that aims to sustain the topics and content that have been discussed.
