Online Discussion
Art as a vector for social change
Online Discussion Series HABITATS
In collaboration with the Consulat général de France à Québec
Initiated by the company Un et un font mille, HABITATS aims to be an artistic, scientific and civil forum for reflection on the theme of aging. It is a caring and safe space - a window on the realities of aging - that allows us to change our vision, our connection. Habitats is, among other things, a forum; public events that take place throughout the year 20-21 and are divided into four meetings. Whether for citizen consultations or co-creation discussion panels, citizens of all ages are invited to actively participate in this rich and promising process!
In this webinar, speakers will discuss the relevance of artistic processes and gestures as a vehicle for reflection and social change, in relation to the question that preoccupies us: how do we want to inhabit our old age?
Moderation: François Grisé, Artistic Director of Un et un font mille

Amélie Cabocel (France) – Visual artist and film director
Visual artist and director, Amélie Cabocel lives and works in Paris. Her specialization in photography and human and social sciences has led Amélie to an artistic approach that combines these fields. Photography, documentary film, video and sound allow her to explore issues related to the body and the social body. Her work unfolds around a dialectic of the visible and the invisible in the image and, more broadly, on the scale of society. Her work has been published several times and has been shown in festivals and various exhibitions in France and abroad.
Registration
Un et un font mille
Un et un font mille, and its director François Grisé, create works and multidisciplinary activities, asking questions that we dare not ask. These activities are developed in the form of a cycle around a specific theme and provoke unexpected encounters where each participant and spectator is invited to become part of the action. The Habitats forum is an extension of the works of the Cycle Vivre vieux currently in progress. The documentary piece All Inclusive, which was presented at La Licorne in October 2019, is part of this cycle.
