Cartographies of Us #1/ “Rituel·le·s”

Since 2016, the Cosmomorphe project has been reconsidering the human as one living being among many for the purposes of composing a world common to both the human and non-human. In 2019, beginning with Station 15 – Faire Chair, comment changer de paradigme dans des mondes enchevêtrés? – and 16 – Métamorphose et contamination, la permanence du changement, the need for a true metamorphosis capable of allowing one to enact one’s own imagination emerged. Now more than ever, the increasing amplification of the global crisis calls on us to act, beginning by reestablishing connections: this is what the Fabrique du Nous, initiated by the IAC and URDLA, invites us to do. On this occasion the laboratory is organizing Station 18, Cartographies of Us #1/ Rituel·le·s. What can us mean today? How can one draw up new maps of the relationships between humans and non-humans through the intermediary of the sensitive and through creation? And what roles do women play in the construction of these communities of the living? As an extension of the exhibition Rituel·le·s that explores the way in which female artists seize hold of ancient or newer rituals so as to reappropriate their bodies and enhance the relationship with the Earth and the living, the first step in the creation of these maps of ourselves revisits the “Cosmomorphe” cycle through the question of the common and from an ecofeminist stance, with the objective of building a cosmomorphical us.
