Bouchra Khalili: The Mapping Journey Project
April 9
October 10
The Museum of Modern Art
Floor 2, Marron Atrium
This exhibition presents, in its entirety, Bouchra Khalili’s
The Mapping Journey Project
The stories are presented on individual screens positioned throughout MoMA's Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron Atrium. In this way, a complex network of migration is narrated by those who have experienced it, refusing the forms of representation and visibility demanded by systems of surveillance, international border control, and the news media. Shown together, the videos function as an alternative geopolitical map defined by the precarious lives of stateless people. Khalili’s work takes on the challenge of developing critical and ethical approaches to questions of citizenship, community, and political agency.
Organized by Stuart Comer, Chief Curator, with Giampaolo Bianconi, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Media and Performance Art.
This exhibition is part of Citizens and Borders, a series of discrete projects at The Museum of Modern Art related to works in the collection offering a critical perspective on histories of migration, territory, and displacement.
