Bouchra Khalili: Circles and Storytellers
11 June 2026, 10am-12pm
Join us for a coffee and a curatorial tour through Bouchra Khalili exhibition Bouchra Khalili: Circles and Storytellers.
Learn about the interconnected works The Circle Project (2023) and The Public Storyteller (2024), marking the conclusion of Khalili’s decade-long exploration of the overlooked history of the Mouvement des Travailleurs Arabes (MTA) and its theatre groups, Al Assifa and Al Halaka.
Active between 1973 and 1977, these collectives of Maghrebi undocumented workers used theatre as a tool for social justice, artistic freedom, and community-building. The works focus on the forgotten candidacy of Djelalli Kamal, an MTA member and Al Assifa performer who ran in the 1974 French presidential election as “the candidate of those who cannot vote.”
All welcome.
