Co-founder of Reclaim the Streets and the Clown Army, and Co-Director writer of the book/film Les Sentiers de L'utopie (La Découverte, 2011).

Re-connecting with the livings: where do arts stand?
The issue of eco-responsibility and the place of art in this new global paradigm is one of the most urgent questions currently being raised. The global pandemic has already disrupted our reality as artists and cultural professionals and the need for "accountability" in our practices has never been higher.
How can we propose political, symbolic and concrete actions that will engage the audience and ourselves in a fundamental reflection about our environment? How can humankind find a new ground to cohabitate and reconnect with the living?
Our relationship to our personal, national and international “spaces” can be rethought and it is time to evolve our postures and our common imaginaries by taking into account the living as “otherness to be known and recognized” and looking at our space as not only made for Humans. This keynote session will go from theory to practice in order to give some keys to cultural professionals to reflect on initiating long-term changes.
