The Fondation Thalie is joining forces with the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris for the 4th season of the Créateurs Urgence Climat lecture series, running from October 2023 to May 2024. In March, the film-maker and visual artist Laura Huertas Millán will be invited to discuss with the anthropologist Jean-Louis Tornatore.
Transition calls for trance, says Jean-Louis Tornatore. So how do we compose “an art of trance for the 21st century”? By turning, perhaps, towards those ways of being in the world – and those artistic practices – that propose a political ecology of knowledge and differences to affirm the reality of a world of many worlds; towards those ways of being in the world that Laura Huertas Millán explores in her practice as a filmmaker and through an eye that is at once feminist, ecological and decolonial. Under her gaze, a psychotropic plant ceases to be an object, a simple product, and becomes a person, opening up the ritual possibility of a collective conversation about neo-colonialism, ecology, activism and more intimate subjects.
