Agenda

Friday June 2, from 3pm to 6pm
Béton Book Club : col­lec­tive reading ses­sion (in French) around the books Les sub­al­ternes peu­vent-elles parler? by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak (1985) and Les Arabes peu­vent-ils parler? by Seloua Luste Bulbina (2008)

Fridays June 2 and July 7, from 6pm 8.30pm
Writing with mit­tens: writing work­shop on and around, for, with, under and alongside art
Theme of the day pro­posed by Elena Lespes Muñoz: Ekphrasis, baby!
Despite its cod­i­fi­ca­tion from ancient rhetoric and its golden age in the 19th cen­tury, the descrip­tion has never ceased to arouse ret­i­cence... Sometimes sus­pected of harming lit­er­a­ture, what have we against it? Boring, anti-poetic, arbi­trary, lengthy, the descrip­tion puts you to sleep but not only!

Saturday 3 June, from 2.30 to 4.30 pm
Taref Lazrag
Weaving work­shop, inter­gen­er­a­tional
Inspired by the var­ious desert land­scapes in the exhi­bi­tion - from rolling sand dunes to deserts of rocks and peb­bles as far as the eye can see - take your turn to dress a horizon line. Assemble your own wool threads, cotton browns and other cords, play with tex­tures, shapes and colours to create a weaving of sky, earth, dunes and other desert mirages.

Friday June 9, from 3pm to 6pm
Stakeholders: ret­ro­s­per­spec­tives on the his­tory of Bétonsalon around the exhi­bi­tion "We Don’t Record Flowers, Said the Geographer." (2010)

Wednesdays 14 and 21 June, from 3.30 to 5.30 pm
A’sla Yabsa
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.

Thursday 15, Friday 16, Wednesday 21, Thursday 22 and Friday 23 June, from 2 to 3 pm
Tour of the exhi­bi­tion with the Bétonsalon team, during the Treize’Estival

Saturday 1 July, from 2.30 to 4.30 pm
Guelmin
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.

Tuesday, July 4, from 7 pm to 8 pm
Conference by Daniela Merolla, pro­fessor of Berber lit­er­a­ture and art at the Institut national des langues et civil­i­sa­tions ori­en­tales (Inalco)
