ATELIERS D’ÉTÉ 2024
IMAGO : REGARDONS LE MONDE
7 JUILLET – 7 SEPTEMBRE
Notre image du monde et de ce qui nous est présenté comme officiel ou scientifique est devenu contestable, notamment en raison de la manipulation des médias digitaux. Dans quelle mesure pouvons-nous encore croire nos propres yeux, sans parler des vues d’autrui ?
La recherche d’une réalité commune de notre environnement partagé est nécessaire pour tous les aspects de la société, mais elle n’est en aucun cas égalitaire, bien au contraire. C’est pourquoi le problème de l’imagination est à la fois un postulat et une devise pour nos ateliers de cette année.
Le programme se concentre sur le design en tant que discipline qui observe, examine et condense les perspectives et les exigences pertinentes afin de développer des perspectives à la fois sensibles et intelligentes pour un avenir meilleur. Travaillons ensemble à des visions individuelles mais cohérentes !
RÉDUCTION EARLY BIRD : tous les prix indiqués incluent une réduction de 10%, qui sera active jusqu’au 30 avril 2024
For over 30 years, the non-profit organisation CIRECA (Centre International de Recherche et d’Education Culturelle et Agricole), organises Boisbuchet’s interdisciplinary program of hands-on workshops: Participants from all over the world living and working together with noted designers, architects and artists – not to come up with perfect results but to gain insights into creative processes and the challenges involved.
