For her exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, Bouchra Khalili presents a new series of works entitled Foreign Office, made up of films, photographs and documents.

Produced in Algeria, this new project is part of the artist’s investigation over the last ten years into
the forms and discourses of resistance as expressed by the members of minority groups that arose from these colonial and postcolonial histories. With Foreign Office ,Bouchra Khalili revisits the period from 1962 to 1972 during which Algeria became the “capital of the revolutionaries”, opening its arms to a number of African, Asian and American liberation movements. With this project, she aims to question the material that makes up this history, its narrative potential and its historical resonance.
