"Life is inscribed in a landscape only by the mark of living beings and elements." Fernand Deligny, in the book "Sagesse des lianes" by Dénètem Touam Bona
We are born from water, from seas and oceans. Our deep roots keep us anchored to the earth and nourish our bodies by capillarity. We spread, we disperse, we probe our buried inner self, and we inscribe our belonging to the living. We are water in a burning world.
The smallest of our gestures shapes and redraws the world. We become the very ink of our stories, the temporary shelter of our archives, the cartography of our fragile languages, the resurgences of our fading exiles.
This exhibition is a manifesto aligned with the avant-garde movements of popular, minority, and protest cultures of the 1970s. It brings together precarious forms, sensitive uprisings, poetic words and acts that honor our intimate and collective memories.
