Garance Malivel
How can we critically reflect on our cultural,
economic and social frames in ways that are individually and collectively
thoughtful and empowering? How do we move beyond merely taking notice of the
issues of our contemporary democracies and dare to picture, shape and enact
alternatives?
These are some of the questions Garance Malivel is investigating
through her research and work, that combines creative practices, curating,
publishing, and workshop formats. She is interested in developing encounters
between various academic and non-academic fields of knowledge, in fruitful
modes of experimentation. Particular attention is given to the intersection of
artistic research, societal issues and activism, and to topics related to
social ecology, environmental justice, the notion of commons, and alternative
pedagogies.
With a background in art history and theory, museum studies,
cultural mediation and social sciences, she was formerly an Associate Curator
at the Center for Art and Research Bétonsalon in Paris before starting to work
independently on various projects. Driven by the idea of prefigurative action
and politics, she will develop during her residency at MeetFactory a research
punctuated and nourished by collaborative formats, such as group discussions
and hands-on workshops as means of enabling collective thinking and
experiential knowledge.
