Bouchra Khalili. BlackboardCatalogue of the exhibition
This catalogue is published in conjunction with Bouchra Khalili’s exhibition at the Jeu de Paume, "Blackboard", which brings together a wide selection of works produced since 2008.
Combining subjectivity, collective history and the transmission of forgotten utopias, the project proposes a meditation on the emancipatory power of words, when they are underpinned by members of minorities often confined to the sidelines of visibility.
Blackboard is thus conceived as a space where the protagonists in the artist’s works and spectators can meet, rekindling Pier Paolo Pasolini’s proposed conception of the work of art as civic poetry.
Foreword: Marta Gili

Texts by Élisabeth Lebovici and Nacira Guénif-Souilamas
Conversation between Bouchra Khalili and Omar Berrada
Hardcover, 21 × 26 cm, 192 pages
About 100 colour illustrations
