Creating with the audience, decentralising knowledge

  • Café des idées

With SACRe and the École Supérieure d'Art d'Avignon

From the perspective of “situated knowledge”, our life experiences shape our understanding of the world. These two days of dialogue and creation aim to do away with a single artistic vision to encourage collaboration and the sharing of different perspectives.

Presentation

For the third year in a row, the SACRe programme of the Université PSL and the École supérieure d’art d’Avignon are overseeing a two-day event consisting of research and creation panels as part of the Festival d’Avignon, to explore the place of audiences distant from the world of art in dynamics of collective creation, in light of a reflection on “situated knowledge,” the responsibility of the artist, and the reciprocity of exchanges. What does it mean to “create a work with” an artist or the audience? How can one make use of artistic gestures that encourage the reception of other voices without instrumentalising them? How can those voices be protected from various forms of appropriation? How can practices and knowledge be decentered?
