3/3 : Today
For six months, Nabila Halim and I went out to meet the residents of the town of Longwy.
During our meetings, they told us stories, asked questions, and shared their experiences of their relationships with others.
This work is conceived as an echo chamber, a more or less realistic and sensitive reflection of the residents of this very special town: a cross-border land, a land of immigration, a land of hope and abandonment.
From their words, we drew seven major themes: arrival in Longwy, racism, the Algerian War, factory closures, memories, home, and finally, the relationship with the Other today. This last theme emerged from our encounters, but also from those made by the students at Vauban College when they set out to find residents, criss-crossing their town and conducting short interviews with passers-by.
More info: the previous feed shows the daily journal of this residency. A lot of work was also done and documented via stories (see featured story): encounters, preparation of the exhibition, etc.
