A Historian’s perspective. Dr Natalya Vince and Patrick Altes

In this inspiring article, Patrick Altes and Dr. Natalya Vince discuss Altes’ residency at the University of Portsmouth, where he worked in the School of Languages and Area Studies for ten months in 2012-13 and was funded by the Leverhulme Trust’s Artist in Residence scheme.

“Patrick Altes’s brings a new perspective to this public debate. Through art, he succeeds in challenging both pied-noir nostalgia about ‘French Algeria’ and academic and popular preconceptions – and indeed misgivings – about what a pied-noir voice might represent.”
