Don’t just like it, live it!
Choreographed by Cindy Van Acker and created with textile artist Vanessa Riera, this défilé-performance gathers a mixed community of young people in migration, participants in artistic training and those described as ‘en rupture’. It centers on upcycling fabrics and collective empowerment, blending improvised, moment-driven movement with tactile costume interventions. The work strikes a close dialogue with surrounding artworks and the public, presented within the exhibition Observatoires: Carte blanche à John M Armleder and the 4th edition of the biennale Dance first. Think later.
In French.
Françoise Deladoëy assembles cut-and-paste collages combining watercolor, graphite and mixed media to probe contemporary upheavals and imagine alternative possibilities.
Using images and fragments sourced from the press, she composes visual landscapes where disparate realities collide and metamorphose. The works fuse the living and the mechanical, beauty and unease, highlighting environmental crisis, technological shifts and resource exhaustion. Collage becomes a transformative method that both records fragmentation and opens an imaginative space where new narratives, spiritual questions and other forms of coexistence might be envisioned.
Opening: 18 October, 18:00
