In 2017 in Athens, Khalili invited three individuals from different backgrounds to form a theater group. The young Athenians name themselves \u201cThe Tempest Society,\u201d and draw inspiration from Al Assifa\u2019s method of performance as \u201ctheatrical newspaper\u201d to address racism and inequality in France. The guests that join the performers of the Tempest Society include: Ghani, a spokesperson for a group of three hundred immigrant workers who conducted a hunger strike in 2011 for equal rights at work; Katerina, born in Greece but undocumented, who meditates on citizenship and civic belonging; and Malek, a young Syrian refugee who engaged with theater in Athens to turn \u201csadness into beauty.\u201d Together they turn the theater into a civic space to share their stories and examine the current state of Greece, Europe, and the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Bouchra Khalili\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bouchra Khalili\u00a0is a french moroccan visual artist based in Berlin. She studied film at\u00a0<strong>Sorbonne Nouvelle\u00a0<\/strong>and visual arts at the\u00a0<strong>E\u0301cole Nationale Supe\u0301rieure d\u2019Arts de Paris-Cergy<\/strong>. Based on extensive research, her practice in film, installation, photography and printmaking investigates strategies and discourses of resistance as elaborated, developed, and narrated by individuals, often members of political minorities rendered invisible by the nation-state. She has participated in many major international exhibitions including documenta 14, the 55th Venice Biennale, the 18th Sydney Biennial, the 10th Sharjah Biennial, and the 5th Moscow Biennial, among others. She has had solo exhibitions at the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston), Jeu de Paume National Gallery (Paris), Museum Folkwang (Essen), Secession (Vienna), MoMA (New York), PAMM\u00a0(Miami),\u00a0MACBA\u00a0(Barcelona), and Palais de Tokyo (Paris), among others.
