KHALF40 ARTISTS' COLLECTIVE

KHALF 40 is a performing arts collective established by Hakim Abdelnaeem and Mohamed Fouad in September 2018 in Alexandria, Egypt. Operating between France and Egypt, our main mission is the production of performing arts projects and programs at the intersection with different art mediums.

We seek to question conceptions of the masses, the dynamics of obscuration, the politics of uniformity, as well as the effect of political and social contexts on the individual’s personal and collective trajectories and their expression of these effects in their everyday practices, in order to develop varied artistic articulations to express such practices. We attempt to study the tactics of categorization that are enacted on groups of people, placing them into uniform divisions, regardless of their individual histories, natures, and experiences, dealing with them collectively as a whole
