Two Voices. One Curatorial Vision.
TRIBE GALLERY was founded by Malaïka Ben Ali and Myriam Chakroun Houdrouge from a shared conviction:
that contemporary art must remain a space of freedom, rigor, and critical engagement, not a product shaped solely by trends or market expectations.
More than a friendship, what unites us is a common vision of art as a territory of tension, complexity, and transformation. We believe in practices that question identity, memory, migration, and the shifting boundaries of culture, without ever becoming illustrative or decorative.
At TRIBE, we do not follow trends.
We build trajectories.
Our curatorial approach is based on:
– the selection of artists with a strong, singular voice
– long-term accompaniment rather than short-term visibility
– the refusal of easy narratives and aesthetic commodification
– a deep respect for the integrity of the works and the people behind them
– an attention to risk, depth, and coherence rather than consensus
We work with artists whose practices are rooted in research, discipline, and necessity, artists for whom creation is not an ornament, but an essential gesture.
Founded in Geneva, TRIBE develops a transnational program, engaging with artists from different geographies and diasporas, while remaining grounded in a local, discreet, and demanding context.
The gallery was conceived as a space for precise encounters:
between artists and collectors,
between works and thought,
between silence and discourse.
TRIBE is not a showroom.
It is a curatorial platform driven by integrity, vision, and the belief that art must remain a place of friction, resistance, and resonance.
