CONFLUENCES

WALC Confluence 3 is hosted by Sylvie Marchand (FR) and Lionel Camburet (FR) of Gigacircus, and their guest artist is Gustavo Alvarez.

The Gigacircus French Art collective will introduce the artist, walker and performer Gustavo Alvarez with whom they collaborated in several projects. Gustavo Alvarez plays with broken silences, using the performance as a ritual space (liminal space). Spectators are confronted with situations generated in the action, Gustavo is always encouraging them to participate directly in the action, proposing a joint creation, creating an atmosphere with the permission and participation of those involved in the performance; managing to create what Hakim Bey calls “Temporary Autonomous Zones”, in which the conventional rules of exchange and etiquette are at least questioned or completely abolished.

Sylvie Marchand writes: “I am very happy and over proud to introduce you to a Grand Mexican artist. Gustavo Alvarez, a performer and an anthropologist, is at the heart of great number of collective events and meetings, stimulating artists to resist and go beyond their passion!”

Do you like to travel on foot? Grand Tour is a 250km walk with poets, dancers, storytellers, visual artists and musicians. 21 days across beautiful landscape and hidden places in Catalonia, it is a shared celebration and this year, you can be part of it.

Learn from previous Grand Tourists what such an adventure entails: Pau Catà, a researcher studying cabinets of curiosities, artist residencies and artists communities, Zoe Balasch, a dancer, Tamsin Grainger sound walk composer, and Anna Piatou a photo-performer.

Come and share with us what we are planning for Grand Tour 2024 in August. The trip will start in the Pyrenees and end in Barcelona, where travellers will enter the city by a most unexpected place.

Le projet cofinancé par l’UE Walking Arts and Local Communities offre l’opportunité d’un examen public du projet, en organisant des « événements Confluence » bimensuels gratuits, au cours desquels les partenaires du projet se réunissent pour présenter l’avancée de leur projet.

Les 30 premières minutes de ces événements en ligne d’une heure seront des présentations et des discussions entre les partenaires WALC. La deuxième demi-heure est l’occasion pour le partenaire hôte de Confluence d’inviter un artiste  à présenter son travail.

WALC Confluence 1 est animé par Sylvie Marchand (FR) et Fred Adam (FR/ES) de Gigacircus, et leur artiste invité francophone est Mohamed-Nour Wana (CHAD/LBYA). La seconde moitié de la Confluence se déroulera en français, avec une transcription de la présentation de Mohammed disponible en anglais.

Arrivé à Paris en 2016, Mohammed-Nour a obtenu un diplôme en médiation interculturelle à l’INALCO à Paris.Il est membre de l’Atelier des Artistes en Exil depuis 2017.

Longtemps confronté à des questions sur l’identité ethnique, culturelle, linguistique et géographique qui poussent des milliers de personnes à fuir leur foyer, il a écrit et publié un livre sur son expérience et celles de ses camarades réfugiés.
