Therapies for reasons, or consent to not being a single being
July 10, 2021
The project Maison Rester.Étranger was conceived by Barbara Manzetti as a Gesamtkunstwerk and corresponds to the intersectional spirit of this meeting. As a multilingual house in constant research and spatialisation of the French language, the Maison Rester. Étranger is a space where opposites are made indistinct.
In the context of the exhibition Not Fully Human, Not Human at All organized by Nataša Petresín-Bachelez in Kadist, Paris.
The initiative invited practitioners who for years have been deeply involved in the multiple questions of art and care:
- What constitutes relationships of care, and what can be drawn from the concept of "relationship" as defined by Édouard Glissant?
- How can we move beyond the oppositions between "local" and "foreign"?
- How to create meaningful intersections between disability, neurodiversity and feminism?
- What are the alternatives to the current medicalisation of bodies and minds?
