In this storytelling tour, Hand in Hand together with Wafaa Suliman invites the audience into the world of the hakawati, inspired by Bouchra Khalili’s artistic practice and the concept of Halaqas.
The tour is divided into two parts: first, a personal and historical reflection on the hakawati tradition, its cultural significance, and Wafaa’s own journey as a storyteller. This is followed by a short performative storytelling piece inspired by One Thousand and One Nights, where the audience is taken into the world of storytelling, memory, and art.
The tour lasts approximately 45 minutes.
