Rising nationalist movements in countries such as the USA and France are affecting the practices of creative minds. Danna Lorch speaks to Paris-based artist Mounir Fatmi ahead of the opening of his solo exhibition Inside the Fire Circle at Lawrie Shabibi, about his experience working and exhibiting abroad.
"When I am physically inside an institution showing my works, I am the artist," says Moroccan-born Fatmi. " But when I leave the museum, I am an immigrant worker. At any time, authorities can ask me a thousand questions."
