The Circle: Timeline for a Constellation, Reading Group and Publication Launch

RSVP

6 June 2026, 2pm
Mosaic Rooms
226 Cromwell Road
London, SW5 0SW

Join us at Mosaic Rooms for a collective reading session and launch of Bouchra Khalili’s newly published book, The Circle: Timeline for a Constellation.

The publication explores the enduring legacy of the Arab Workers Movement (MTA) and its theatre troupes Al Assifa and Al Halaka. The MTA theatre troupes’ pioneering provocations to imagine how performance and storytelling can become forces for civic transformation culminated in the 1974 presidential candidacy of Djellali Kamal. At a time when migrant communities in France were silenced under threat of expulsion, Kamal’s candidacy became a public performance, and a declaration against the denial of migrant rights, imagining a vision of transnational citizenship.

This gathering invites participants to read aloud selections from interviews, testimonies and conversations featured in the publication, including voices of surviving members who organised with the MTA.

Hosted and run in collaboration with Mosaic Rooms, as part of the annual Small Press Fest (6-7 June).

All welcome. No prior reading is required.

Book Works consists of a publishing and commissioning department; and a studio specialising in binding, box-making and multiples.

STUDIO

The Book Works Studio offers a specialist bespoke service for a range of clients, from artists, designers, galleries, and businesses.

Our audience is vital to our work. The process of engaging and developing our audience is initiated with our commissioning programme, and driven through all aspects of our activities, particularly our public programme of events, our workshops, artists’ surgeries and education activities, and through our interest in collaborating with other organisations and libraries. Our programme of commissions is diverse, and reflects our commitment not just to work with cultural workers from all backgrounds, but to invest in networks and programmes that engage, and develop and create new artistic voices.
