The journal Lili, la rozell et le marimba accompanies the eponymous artistic cycle taking place at La Criée contemporary art center in Rennes from September 2019 to August 2021. This cycle of exhibitions, events, residencies and research questions the relationships between productions, local knowledge and contemporary art. The journal aims to extend and broaden the questions raised by the invited artists. The journal brings together contributions from artists, thinkers and researchers from diverse backgrounds.
Through case studies, theoretical texts, artistic interventions, she wishes to ask the following questions.
-- In what forms does the richness of contributions and influences between so-called contemporary arts and so-called traditional arts (de faire, artisanal, folkloric, popular, raw, naive, etc.), between modernity and tradition, between local and global, occur in contemporary creation?
-- In what ways do artists work today from so-called local contexts?
-- How do artists participate in rethinking the links between the knowledge of the people and scholarly knowledge, between local and global, between indigenous and foreign?
-- How are personal narratives the vehicles of History? Is it legitimate to talk about a story that is not one’s own? Where are we talking about?
-- How do we speak?
