Bouchra Khalili @Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

We are excited to announce Bouchra Khalili’s upcoming solo show at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

The exhibition takes a dive into The Mapping Journey a large-scale video installation, for its first presentation in Denmark, after being featured in the main exhibition Foreigners Everywhere at the 2024 Venice Biennale.

Recently acquired by the museum’s collection, The Mapping Journey is a series of videos that details the stories of eight individuals who have been forced by political and economic circumstances to travel illegally and whose covert journeys have taken them throughout the Mediterranean basin. Khalili encountered her subjects by chance in transit hubs across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Following an initial meeting, the artist invited each person to narrate his or her journey and trace it in thick permanent marker on a geopolitical map of the region. The videos feature the subjects’ voices and their hands sketching their trajectories across the map, while their faces remain unseen.

The exhibition will open June 25th, 2025. Don’t miss it!
