36 Short Stories
The anthology 36 Short Stories brings together a selection of works and texts, published, exhibited, or collected during Bétonsalon – centre for art and research’s program. Presented in the form of a collection of short stories, it brings into dialog thirty-six voices and experiences – personal and collective, factual and fictional, and some times forgotten. Encompassing authors from a wide range of disciplines, contributions explore the margins of traditional historiography and the distribution of knowledge, employing fiction as a means to resist uniformity. In a word, each seeks to deconstruct established norms and to offer new readings of the histories we construct.
