    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.
