Yasmina Benabderrahmane, Miam !
Thursday 26 Jun 2025 from 7pm to 8pm
Free upon registration
As part of the Prix Emmaüs Solidarité pour la création contemporaine
The artist Yasmina Benabderrahmane presents a collaborative performance, the result of ten workshops carried out over a period of two months, with the participation of Emmaüs Solidarité residents.
Equipped with a disposable camera, each participant was invited to create a series of images that reflected their own intimate reality. Printed on edible paper and assembled like parchment into long, unrollable strips, these fragments of life, echoes and sensitive archives of each person's reality, gradually gave rise to a choreographic ritual that questioned - both literally and figuratively - the way we consume images.
During the performance, the public are invited to take part in a stroll that fully involves them in this ritual, where they become central players in the performance Miam! Or the paths of shared images.
With : Adama, Agnès, Charlotte, Leila, Lisa, Mamadou, Mathurin, Mickael, Mohammed, Mounir, Adama, Richard, Yasmina, Yvon.
Prix Emmaüs Solidarité pour la création contemporaine
The Emmaus Solidarity Prize for Contemporary Art offers people supported by the association, as well as the general public, the opportunity to elect an artist to produce a collaborative work. Each year, a number of practical art workshops result in the creation of a work, which is presented at the Foundation on a dedicated evening.
