A’sla Yabsa
Family cyanotype workshop, for children aged 6 and over, as part of the Treize’Estival - the 13th arrondissement’s cultural festival - and the exhibition "Trab’ssahl" by Abdessamad El Montassir.
Cyanotype family workshop, from 6 years old
Inspired by the plants of the Sahara collected by Abdessamad El Montassir, we will search for plants, those that resist the invasion of concrete and the city in our immediate environment. After a stroll through the streets near the art centre, and in the manner of the botanist Anna Atkins, we will create the very first herbarium of the neighbourhood using her photographic print technique: the cyanotype.
Saturday 1 July, 2.30pm to 4.30pm
Guelmin
Sound creation workshop, pre-teens and teens, as part of the exhibition "Trab’ssahl" by Abdessamad El Montassir
Sound creation workshop, pre-teens and teens
A few snatches of conversations from passers - by, the wind blowing through the trees in the park, vehicles honking their horns or speeding on the road... What clues do these sounds give us about the landscape around us? Just like Abdessamad El Montassir in the middle of the desert, let’s close our eyes, put our ears to the ground and collect all these noises, whistles and
other whispers that cross our daily lives to imagine a sound composition all together.
Saturday 8 July and Saturday 9 September, from 5pm to 7pm
Cap pour l’île des vivants : Introduction to karate
By Marie Bouard, instructor at Niji-Kan Karaté Do, LGBT karate club
Mixed-gender workshop, open to beginners, registration required at info@betonsalon.net
As an extension of Monique Wittig’s collective readings at Bétonsalon since the beginning of 2023, this introduction to karate is an opportunity to get into shape and put into practice the deconstruction of gender relations. In the long history of the links between feminist movements and self-defence, it is also a nod to the practice of this martial art by many feminists of the 1970s, including Monique Wittig, who began practising it in 1975 and through it met Sande Zeig, her teacher and later her partner, with whom she wrote Brouillon pour un dictionnaire des amantes the following year.
Monday 28, Tuesday 29 and Wednesday 30 August, from 10am to 4:30pm
and Thursday August 31, from 10 am to 8 pm
Practical sound workshop with Jérôme Girard at Centre Paris Anim’ Eugène Oudiné
Free upon reservation
For the 8-12 years old
Reservation at http://centreoudine.goasso.org/ or Centre Oudiné : 01 40 77 46 70
A few snatches of conversation from passers-by, the wind blowing through the trees in the nearby park, cars honking or speeding along the concrete, the echoes and vibrations under the tunnel in rue Louise Weiss... What clues do these sounds give us about the landscape around us? Like a sound detective or an urban explorer, set off to discover the sounds that make up the city! In the company of artist Jérôme Girard, you’ll be collecting strange and everyday sounds, learning about sound recording and production, and radio. Together, you’ll create a sound postcard of the neighbourhood!
Born in 1993, Jérôme Girard lives and works between Paris and Haute-Savoie. A graduate of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, he is interested in listening as a vehicle for meaning and emotion, as well as folklore and popular traditions. Using mainly recycled materials, he creates sensitive, poetic narratives that oscillate between sound creations, live performances, installations and sculptural research.
