Opening Bouchra Khalili

at

On Friday 5 June, Malmö Konsthall will open its summer exhibition dedicated to the Moroccan-French artist Bouchra Khalili, who lives in Vienna. This will be the largest presentation of her work in Scandinavia and her first show ever in the south of Sweden.

Since the early 2000s, Bouchra Khalili has been working with a wide variety of media, including installation, film, photography, printmaking and textile. In her work, she addresses issues related to belonging, community, and democracy. At Malmö Konsthall, Khalili will let the works go in dialogue with the building’s existing architecture by creating a site-specific presentation. Newer works will meet older ones and together form a chorus of voices, where forgotten stories from the past are brought to light and resonate in our own time.

18:00 Restaurant/Bar SMAK opens 
19:00–24:00 Opening with welcome speeches, live music, workshop, and DJ
22:00 The exhibition closes
24:00 SMAK closes
