Bouchra Khalili, Calling the Ghosts: On Bearing Witness to the Future

As part of Cooper Union’s Fall 2019 Intra-Disciplinary Seminar series and presented in partnership with Open Society Foundations, Bouchra Khalili delivers a free, public lecture.  For this lecture, she will share and articulate some of her work in order to address the essential questions that her practice investigates: the politics of memory of anti-colonial struggles and international solidarity; forced illegal migrations in relation to imperial and colonial continuums; egalitarian forms of citizenship as opposed to the nation-state model of citizenry; and language, dialects, speech acts and agency.
