Informed by post-independence avant-gardes and the vernacular traditions of her native Morocco, Khalili' s artistic approach combine performative strategies of storytelling, reactivating the "civil poetry" as defined by Italian poet and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini and inspired by the old tradition of Moroccan Al-Halqa. As a political voice endorsing the collective one from the singular experience, Pasolini' s civic poet mirrors the Moroccan "Halqa," the country' s most ancient form of public storytelling. Mixing up popular tales, ancient poems and political references the Al-Halqa performer subverts official historiographies and narratives to eventually become at once the people' s "living archives" and its public voice. Operating similarly, Khalili' s work develops civic platforms for first person accounts eventually forming collective stories of resistance.
