Bouchra Khalili: A Trilogy : The Tempest Society, The Circle, and The Public Storyteller.

Khalili, Bouchra LU (2025)
Abstract
Central to the exhibition are three seminal works: The Tempest Society (2017), The Circle Project (2023), and The Public Storyteller (2024). These works trace the legacy of the Mouvement des travailleurs arabes (MTA) and its theatre groups, Al Assifa and Al Halaka, highlighting their pioneering struggle for equal rights in 1970s France and their enduring relevance.

Through storytelling, montage, and performance, Khalili’s works invite viewers to witness forgotten histories, reflect on our present, and imagine our potential collective futures.
