Distant Intimacy,
An evening on Self-Help and Co-Creation
With Marie Déhé and Haydée Touitou
19:30 – 21:00
Doors open at 19:00
Presentation of publications & film screening at PrintRoom
Artist Marie Déhé and writer Haydée Touitou will present their publications and engage in a public conversation about what it means to co-create as artists – without being an artist duo. In a situation of distant intimacy, they found themselves working together, again and again. The screening of their video Self-Help is part of tonight’s programme.
In a round table conversation, moderated by Alexandre Furtado Melville, Marie and Haydée will reflect on ways to support one another in collective practices. They will touch upon shared correspondence, the wider family, spaces of residence, and the meaning of place.
