About this event
They invite us to consider the voice in all its plurality: breathing, shouting, whispering, singing, poeticizing.
The practices presented are anchored in specific cultural and social contexts, while summoning ritual forms, vernacular traditions and experimental languages. The exhibition will be on view until midnight. The voice becomes a tool of transformation: it allows us to repair, to resist, but also to bring out other imaginations and other ways of being in the world.
As part of this exceptional evening, a tour of the exhibition is offered at 7:30 p.m. by co-curator Zdenka Badovinac, offering insight into the works presented.
Through this program, the Cité internationale des arts affirms its role as a place of refuge for contemporary creation, where multiple voices can unfold freely and enter into relationship with the world.
