Bouchra Khalili: Between Circles and Constellations

"Between Circles and Constellations" brings together projects from the last ten years of Khalili’s oeuvre, including film, video-installations, photography and documentary material.

We are all witnesses of our own history, but whose history is consolidated as collective memory? Exploring modes of historiography and drawing on conversations and archival material, the artistic practice of Bouchra Khalili (Casablanca, 1975, lives and works in Berlin) is an exploration of anti-colonial struggles, post-colonial histories of liberation and solidarity. Interweaving historical accounts and real-life stories, her works reinforce the political agency of subjects rendered invisible by the nation-state model of citizen membership.
