The CCN de Grenoble hosts the2nd part of the 4th edition of the Festival des Gestes de la Recherche, as part of the "Artistic Hospitality and Visual Activism for a Diasporic and Post-Western Europe" Research Unit at the Ecole Supérieure d'Art et Design - Grenoble (ESAD).
Ahead of the Festival des Gestes de la Recherche, Aina Alegre, accompanied by Melis Tezkan, offers a GESTES ET TRACES workshop for ESAD students from March 4 to 6. How can we turn words into a trigger for movement? How can we generate physical and choreographic material from different narratives around a specific gesture?
As well as being linked to the material conditions of existence and access to resources, "home" is a myth linked to the illusion of boundaries between public and private. Race, class and gender influence its potential to be a place of refuge, and even when it can be, it is always conditional and suspended from the will to extend/retract power. Fania Noël's analysis starts from the margins, from black women, to shed light more generally on how the question of home is invested in feminist discourses/politics.
Afrofeminist activist, sociologist and essayist, Fania Noël is completing her PhD in sociology at The New School for Social Research (NY). Her fields of research are Global Critical Black Studies, Black feminist theories, political sociology and cultural studies. Alongside her research, she contributes to various mainstream publications offering her analysis of the Black condition, feminisms, political movements and science fiction.
Among the projects she has initiated: the political journal AssiégéEs, which she co-founded in 2015, and the Haitian feminist anthology Alaso in 2021, of which she is publishing director.
Visual artist and filmmaker Inas Halabi's debut feature We No Longer Prefer Mountains focuses on the religious minority that is the Druze in occupied Palestine. It takes the viewer into a world of geographical isolation, shaped by coercion and control.2023, 96 min, in Arabic with French subtitles.
