Quand l'écoute guide le faire | Hakim Arezki | TEDxVersaillesGrandParc

Né en Algérie dans une famille kabyle, Hakim ARESKI revendique les droits de son peuple opprimé. A l’âge de 18 ans, durant une manifestation non-violente à Alger, Hakim reçoit deux balles des forces armées. Il perd la vue et part en France rejoindre son père. A Marly-le-Roi, c’est dans le noir qu’il réapprend à vivre une vie rythmée par des sons qu’il apprivoise progressivement grâce à la musique. Après quatre années de formation, il devient accordeur de piano et publie deux albums qui témoignent de l’histoire de son peuple kabyle. Le son l’emmène également vers le cécifoot, qu’il pratique rapidement à haut niveau jusqu’à devenir vice-champion paralympique. Hakim se définit comme un combattant qui, à travers le sport, les arts et son quotidien, lutte pour défendre son identité et ramener son monde à portée de main. Born in Algeria into a Kabyle family, Hakim ARESKI claims the rights of his oppressed people. At the age of 18, during a nonviolent demonstration in Algiers, Hakim received two bullets from the armed forces. He loses his sight and leaves for France to join his father. In Marly-le-Roi, it is in the dark that he relearns to live a life punctuated by sounds that he gradually tames through music. After four years of training, he became a piano tuner and published two albums which bear witness to the history of his Kabyle people. The sound also took him to blind football, which he quickly practiced at a high level until he became a Paralympic runner-up. Hakim defines himself as a fighter who, through sport, the arts and his daily life, struggles to defend his identity and bring his world within reach.
