Last chance to see Bouchra Khalili\u2019s 2017 video work, part of a long series devoted to the legacy of Al Assifa (‘The Tempest’ in Arabic) \u2013 a theatre group comprising North African immigrant workers and French students that was active in Paris from 1973 to 1978.<\/p>\n
Premiered at Documenta 14\u00a0in Athens, The Tempest Society<\/em> is described by the artist as a hypothesis rather than a documentary or fiction; three people from different backgrounds form a group in Athens to examine the current state of Greece, Europe, and the Mediterranean via the theatre stag. They name themselves\u00a0The Tempest Society in homage to Al Assifa.<\/p>\n The work is part of Khalili’s exhibition Between Circles and Constellations<\/i><\/a><\/strong> at Sharjah Art Foundation, a show based on his enquiry into the hidden histories of solidarities among transnational and stateless communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
