“Tu vois je veux dire” is an Artistic and Cultural Education project run by Bétonsalon – Center for Art and Research (Paris, 13th), Ivry’s Contemporary Art Centre – Le Crédac (Ivry-sur-Seine, 94) and La Briqueterie – National Choreographic Development Center of Val-de-Marne (Vitry-sur-Seine, 94), in collaboration with the Adolphe Chérioux highschool in Vitry-sur-Seine, Marianne High School in Villeneuve-le-Roi, and Armand Guillaumin High School in Orly.
Initiated in 2023-2024, the “Tu vois je veux dire” project takes as its starting point Bétonsalon’s Young Mediators Program and allows high school students to experiment with different forms of mediation around artistic practices from both visual and performing arts. Continuing in 2024-2025, this project seeks—through observation, listening, encounters with artists and art professionals, dialogue, and artistic practice—to challenge the traditional roles and voices associated with discourse on artworks within cultural and artistic institutions. It does so by imagining and inventing original public engagement formats: podcasts, dance-based tours, design publication, and more.
In 2024–2025, students from six classes across three high schools in Val-de-Marne had the opportunity to share and explore new ways of creating and presenting mediation around the performances they selected from the program of the Val-de-Marne Dance Biennale, organized by La Briqueterie:
• At Adolphe Chérioux High School, the 10th-grade class in the Applied Arts program worked with artist Fanette Lambey on the show Coup Fatal by Alain Platel, focusing on the vocabulary and gestures of “la sape” (a Congolese fashion movement), combined with baroque music, both of which are featured in the performance. The students then created a T-shirt using heat transfer printing to offer a “sape”-styled mediation of the show to another class at the school.
• At Marianne High School, a general 10th-grade class worked on the performance Afrikan Party from the Biennale with artist Wendy Osu to produce a patchwork flag, made up of individually designed flags, and used it to offer an original form of mediation to another class.
• At Armand Guillaumin High School, an 11th-grade vocational class participated in dance workshops with Clémence Galliard and Soa Ratsifandrihana, in connection with the Biennale performance Fampitaha, fampita, fampitàna, and produced a podcast that is available online.
Fanette Lambey
Fanette Lambey was born in 1997 in Dole (Jura). A graduate of ENSBA Lyon in 2023, she lives and works in Paris. She is the recipient of the Dufraine Prize (2023) and the Prix de Paris (2023). Her work is built around acts of translation, citation, and plagiarism. Guided by the concept of intertextuality, she collects images and texts that she attempts to reveal or neutralize through their juxtaposition. The installations she constructs weave pre-existing or supposed connections, oscillating between ambiguities and meaningful ruptures. Within these, she seeks to subvert the authority of what she considers to be a hegemonic language, of those who speak and transmit it, using tools of common language such as misunderstanding and implication. In 2024, Fanette Lambey was a resident of the ENSBA Lyon x Cité internationale des arts program.
Wendy Osu
Wendy Osu lives and works between Paris and Amsterdam. She is a graduate of the Nantes School of Fine Arts (DNAP, 2016) and the Design Academy Eindhoven (Netherlands, 2021), she develops a multidisciplinary artistic practice combining video, textiles, publishing, and installation. Her projects explore themes of transmission, community, ritual, and sociology—particularly through the lens of Afro-descendant cultures. She is interested in how social codes emerge, are invented, and transmitted, especially through clothing, which she sees as a language in its own right.
Wendy Osu has presented her work at the New Institute in Rotterdam, the Temporary Art Center in Eindhoven, and Café Collective in Aubervilliers. She has also led workshops for Store Projects (2022) and for the Palais de Tokyo. In 2021, she was nominated for the Social Design Awards in Eindhoven for her project Hidden Heritages, a documentary film examining African hairstyles as reflections of social structures—religious, ethnic, and political. In 2023, she took part in the Artagon creative residency in Pantin, continuing her commitment to collaborative practices where creation becomes a space for dialogue and shared memory.
Clémence Guillard
Trained at the CNSMD (National Conservatory of Music and Dance) in Paris, Clémence furthered her training at the Merce Cunningham Studio in New York and at EXERCE, the training program of the National Choreographic Center (CCN) of Montpellier.
She began her career as a performer alongside Herman Diephuis, and went on to work with Christian Bourigault, Olivia Grandville, Loïc Touzé, and Emmanuelle Huynh. Between 2008 and 2014, she continued her career with choreographers Pierre Droulers, Fabrice Lambert, David Wampach, Hélène Iratchet, and Xavier Le Roy. Clémence worked with Compagnie DCA – Philippe Decouflé from 2006 to 2019. She performed in the creations Sombrero, Octopus, and Contact, and collaborated on all of the company’s related projects, including Tout doit disparaître in fall 2019 at the Palais de Chaillot.
In addition, she regularly assists choreographers, actors, and singers (including Philippe Decouflé — for Bruno Dumont’s feature film Jeannette, Dimitri Chamblas, Léo Lérus, Tatiana Julien, Marie Vialle, and Nosfell). More recently, Clémence has performed in the works of Ondine Cloez, Tatiana Julien, Fabrice Ramalingom, Ivana Müller, Valeria Giuga, and Sylvain Riéjou. Since 2021, she has been co-creating, with Juliette Médevielle, Danse sur écoute, a radio series that highlights the profession of performer in the field of contemporary dance.
Soa Ratsifandrihana
Soa Ratsifandrihana is a dancer and choreographer. After studying at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse in Paris, Soa worked with James Thierrée, Salia Sanou, and Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. In October 2021, she premiered her first solo, g r oo v e, in Brussels. The performance has been staged over forty times and continues to tour across Europe. In parallel, Soa created a diptych through which she tells a story she wishes she had heard as a child. The two parts of this diptych take the form of a radio creation titled Rouge cratère and a stage performance titled Fampitaha, fampita, fampitàna. Building on the approach of her first solo, she explores the possible entanglements between radio storytelling, choreographic and musical composition—reminding us that our bodies, just like our words, carry stories. Soa is an associate artist at the Kaaitheater from 2023 to 2025.
