Zahia Rahmani (born 1962) is a French-Algerian author, curator, and art historian.[1]
Rahmani was born in Algeria in 1962 and is of Berber heritage. She spoke only Kabyle until she was five-years old and her family migrated to France in 1967. Rahmani's father was a Harki.[1] Rahmani and her family spent six months in the Saint-Maurice de l'Ardoise camp for repatriated Harkis and their families.[2][3] With the help of some French friends, the family settled in Beauvais.[3] Rahmani's older brother died in 1971.[3]
