Fanaticism in football

dig

It is diasporic, regional and totally irrational. The games are watched to satisfy, though inadequately, wants in areas connected to global standings. For some fans, athleticism and youthful grace are conflated with the performance of states and nations, in the hope for better resolution for long unsettled issues. Chance, as presented by the game, with transparent and open rules, are welcomed. And champions play on your behalf and carry all of our triumphant ambitions. We cheer and applaud, not just for the next goal, but to resolve some things.

Tout-Monde Festival

Tout-Monde Festival
1st Caribbean Contemporary Arts Festival in the United States
March 1-4, 2018 Miami, Florida
tout-monde

Hétéronomonde, the first edition of the Tout-Monde Festival, traces the contour of contemporary Antillean and Caribbean artistic production at the junction of autonomy, heteronomy and Tout-Monde.

The theory of globalization introduced by Édouard Glissant through the concepts of “Creolization” and “Poetics of Relation,” which culminated in the notion of “Tout-Monde, ” led to multiple currents of thoughts ranging from political philosophy to art criticism—with such notions as relational aesthetic for instance.

What new ways of being in the world can emerge from the confluence of the great Martinican poet’s theories and the practice of everyday contemporary life in and from the Caribbean, in a world in search for political self-determination amidst social atomization and cultural fragmentation?

How have these new ways of being in the world at large been anticipated, translated, and experimented through the artistic processes emerging from these ‘in-between’ (is-)lands of the Antilles—caught between their status as both French regions and Caribbean territories as well as both of Europe and of the Americas?

From artistic creation to political discourse, Hétéronomonde, the first edition of the Tout-Monde Festival sets forth to confront such ideas specific to Antillean identity formation within the wider Caribbean region and in the world and, as such, pursues a double action of belonging and relating through an ongoing process of cultural construction.

The festival opens with The World of Edouard Glissant: Relevance and Meaning in Politics and Art, an art talk by Patrick Chamoiseau and Dr. Michael Dash, followed by Heteronomonde, a performance by Léna Blou & Schwarz-Bart. PAMM. Program. Schedule of events.

In-visibilité Ostentatoire

In-visibilité Ostentatoire Commissaire : Giscard Bouchotte.

L’exposition In-visibilité Ostentatoire, en référence aux silences assourdissants de l’Histoire, présente le travail d’une dizaine d’artistes qui explorent les non-dits sur des faits d’hier et d’aujourd’hui ou des événements que la mémoire a oublié ou choisi d’oublier. En relatant certains faits historiques passés sous silence à leur époque, elle évoque les mécanismes à l’oeuvre, les amnésies collectives ou les tabous sociaux qui influencent nos choix et nos silences. In-visibilité Ostentatoire donne aussi à voir le travail de certains artistes qui puisent leur inspiration dans le monde Invisible, celui des “mistè” (esprits) qui semblent tirer les ficelles de la réalité haïtienne. Ce monde invisible et son cohorte de croyances populaires est, pour nombre d’entre eux, une source d’inspiration. L’exposition explore l’”invisibilité ostentatoire” d’Haïti lors des grands rendez-vous internationaux, en insistant sur la visibilité de ce qui aurait dû être évident.
