eunice bélidor

eunice bélidor would like to take a critical look at institutional permaculture (Guillaume Désanges), and see whether it influences French exhibition curating outside the Palais de Tokyo, whether it applies outside a city like Paris, and how institutional permaculture might influence curating in Montreal and elsewhere in Canada. Does this inclusive and sustainable foundation actually have an impact on artistic communities excluded from the mainstream, but also on the environment? How are French artists thinking and creating through the seriousness of the climate crisis? What are the ways in which racialized artists are addressing issues of race and gender in their work? What's the status of these vis à vis conversations where they're rendered in North America? A recent trip to Berlin made her realize just how different the modes of creation and the types of exhibition and dissemination venues are from the options in Canada; she would like to discover these venues, but also the studios of artists with transdisciplinary practices.
