What do you think about the standards associated with bodies? In this workshop, we will reflect on how we look at our own bodies and our perceptions of the norms related to physique. Through writing exercises and group discussions, participants will deconstruct representations of the body that have been fixed over time and persist today. This workshop is intended to be a space open to all shapes and types of bodies, and it aims to develop empathy for physical diversity.

Connect with the artworks through motion. These guided visits place body language at the core of the experience. Through motion, you connect with yourself and others, with the works and the space. You don’t need to know how to dance, you just have to be ready to move. The artworks become a source of inspiration: a shape, a texture, a theme, or an emotion may trigger a gesture, a movement, a pose. Guided throughout the visit, participants are free to interpret the artworks according to how they feel, their abilities, or their imagination. These visits are based on feminist, queer, decolonial, and anti-ableist approaches that intersect around the notion of “situated knowledge”: a way of exploring art starting from your own body, your experience, and your point of view.

What would the past look like if it were reinvented by those who have been forgotten? How do we define heroes and heroines? A discussion and reflection around heroic figures and power (historical and political figures, personal heroes and heroines such as artists or public personalities). As a group, you’ll reflect on a history of humanity in which these heroes and heroines play a decisive role and share your vision of the world with your peers.

In this workshop, you’ll explore urban landscapes in transformation through a unique sensory path. Walking in public areas, you will be led to attend to details that generally pass unnoticed: textures, sounds, lights, odours, ambiences. Each participant will collect these elements in the form of traces (notes, sketches, recordings, rubbings, etc.) and use them to compose a sensitive and personal mapping of the territory explored. This immersive experience, at the intersection of art and observation, refreshes how we perceive and live in the city.
