Practical sessions - Ève Chabanon
As part of Bétonsalon Academy 2020, the Center for Art and Research is developing a program for several universities of the 13th arrondissement of Paris, a dynamic student district.
Our neighbours from Inalco (University of Languages and Civilizations) have thus collaborated with artist Ève Chabanon on the elaborating mediation objects around her exhibition The Surplus. Over six face-to-face sessions and a rigorous work at a distance, constrained by the period of confinement due to the COVID-19 sanitary crisis, the students of the Communication and Intercultural Training Course of the LLCER Bachelors Degree at Inalco brilliantly transformed their projects in order to propose digital versions launched online on Bétonsalon - Center for Art and Research’s website.
Questions of ethics and positioning towards the Other in the fields of the information and communication sciences are key issues: how to avoid the pitfalls of exotization, miserabilism and cultural appropriation when working with people in exile?
In what ways can mediation be made as lively as the long-term work carried out by Ève Chabanon and her collaborators; Yara Al Najem, Abou Dubaev, Olivier Iturerere, Nassima Shavaeva, Aram Ikram Tastekin, Abdulmajeed Haydar, the teams and students of the Lycée Julie-Victoire Daubié in Argenteuil?
How to bear witness to a specific time and space, how to involve the visitor in this human project above all?
The students were able to benefit from the artist’s experience and advice, from a tailor-made project follow-up, group by group, of the Art Center in order to carry out the logistical and administrative aspects, from exciting theoretical interventions and from training on project management tools.
