Interpretations of the Exhibition with Françoise Vergès
Open and free activity with limited capacity
Language: French
Open lecture of the Santa Mònica collective learning and research programme Situations (making) #10, in the framework of the exhibition The Assault of Illusion
In this session, Françoise Vergès will offer their own reading of The Assault of Illusion, connecting the works, mechanisms and strategies of representation that the exhibition proposes with the central debates in their field of research and practice.
The readings linked to the lecture are also inscribed in Situations (making) #10, Santa Mònica's collective learning and research programme, aimed at critically analysing how cultural devices configure illusions that shape our desire and our idea of reality.
This proposal forms part of the exhibition's public programme, which under the title Interpretations of the exhibition brings together seven contemporary voices to deepen and expand the questions raised by the project.
