L’appartenance –
Comment penser et panser des « territoires d’hospitalité »
February 26, 2023 March 26, 2023

L'appartenance (belonging) is a moment of exchange between artists, filmmakers, activists and agricultors around the development and preservation of certain lands and agricultural practices against state policy. We think that the disappearance of these forms of life is also a mark of violence on humans an more-than-humans. Therefore, we wish, thanks to this exchange and to the artworks presented, to raise the question of “hospitality lands” that could emerged between the past and present to imagine other relations of equality and ways of sharing space.
L'appartenance, is a transgenerational exchange hosted at cinéma l’Ecran in Saint Denis, which occured on February 26 and March 26, 2023, in a multi-faceted format between performances, readings, exchange, and film projections.

A kind of family is woven between us. Sudden and irregular, it inhabits all ostensible fractures. It organizes itself in transitions. It is in transition. It is a relay. It is mother. It is son. It is Hello friends. It resolves the chimeras of assigned identities. It is country. (with Barbara Manzetti, Ousmane Souleman, Olivier Marboeuf, ...).
