October 20 at 1:00 p.m. – THE CONSULATE / AESTHETIC ACTIVISM OR ENGAGED ART?

Moderated by Jeanne Barral, curator

With Lionel Bensemoun , founder of the Consulate, Joakim Bouaziz , musician, Samuel Boutruche, artist, Stéphane de Freitas, founder of Eloquentia and of the Indigo Cooperative, Lauranne Germond, founder of Coal Projects, Lucy Orta, artist

When the world goes up in smoke, it is no longer time for contemplation, but for action. To set things in motion, you have to move, convince and unite. Artists, activists and essayists must join together to write the exquisite cadaver narrative of a new culture; and thus shape a common imagination that will define our reality of tomorrow. This discussion is an opportunity to understand the importance of the place of Art in this transition. The Consulate is an ephemeral and itinerant place, which advocates a festive and committed art of living.
