Atmani is an activist in the group Le carré. The artist takes part in marches each Friday organised to demand the removal of the dominant hierarchy, to put an end to existing corruption and to disengage the military from politics. He also belongs to the Revolt Arts movement, where artists unite to promote a political struggle and rebel through artistic expressions.
