About the event

During the Biennale exhibition, NJOKOBOK BAR is activated by a series of storytelling sessions, which are inspired by the Arabic traditions of popular literature and the role of the hakawati. Hakawati means “storyteller” in Arabic and describes people who go around coffee shops and souks to engage audiences with their tales. NJOKOBOK has invited different hakawati to share stories that are meaningful to their lives and convey their respective cultural traditions.
