"Life is inscribed in a landscape only by the traces of living beings and elements." Fernand Deligny, from the book "Sagesse des lianes" by Dénètem Touam Bona.
We were born of water, of seas and oceans. Our deep roots hold us to the earth and nourish our bodies through capillarity. We spread, we disperse, we probe our buried interior and inscribe our belonging to the living. We are water in a world on fire.
Each of our gestures shapes and redraws the world. We become the ink of our stories, the makeshift shelter of our archives, the cartography of our fragile languages, the resurgence of our vanishing exiles.
This exhibition is a manifesto inspired by the artistic avant-garde movements of the popular, minority and protest cultures of the 1970s. It gathers precarious forms, sensitive uprisings, words and poetic acts that honor our intimate and collective memories.
