Early life
Attia was born in Dugny, France to Algerian parents and was raised in Paris and Algeria. He studied at the l'école Duperré de Paris, l'école des arts appliqués La Massana de Barcelone and graduated from the Ecole nationale superieure des arts decoratifs Paris, in 1998.
Work
Attia's work often examines social injustice, marginalized communities and postcolonialism.

In March 2021, Attia was announced as the curator for the 12th Berlin Biennale. He is the first artist to curate the biennale since New-York based collective DIS, who presented the 9th edition in 2016. In November 2021, he had an exhibition entitled "On Silence" at the Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha.
