PHOTOGRAPH COLLECTIONS OF THE RED CROSS
A preview of Un Monde à guérir, a show that will be held in Geneva in 2021 and Arles in 2022. An unprecedented immersion into the photo archives of the International Committee of the Red Cross-Red Crescent.
With support from the Swiss Confederation and the Canton and City of Geneva.

DÉSIDÉRATION (RADIO LEVANIA)
Tune in to Radio Levania: in an initiatory sound session with subliminal video, ghostly figures from Desideration tell of losing and desiring the stars. In the voice of Levania (pulsation of the stars), that of terrestrial Anamanda Sîn, and the nebulous voice of the Hostess, a polyphonic song of love and disaster is deployed in the dark of an Théâtre Antique built to incubate dreams.
A proposition by SMITH. Text: Lucien Raphmaj. Interpretation: Nadège Piton, Adrian Gebhart, François Chaignaud. Music: Victoria Lukas. Set: Diplomates.

PHOTO SLAM!
The Rencontres d’Arles has asked author Antwaun Sargent, curator of the exhibition The New Black Vanguard, to orchestrate the first global Photo Slam. Following a call for participation to emerging photographers as open and inclusive as possible, those selected will have the opportunity to show their work on the stage of the Théâtre Antique with the greatest freedom.
