And last but not least, some more sets of postcards inserted and held in a folded invitation for the , in Blois, regarding the exhibition “Territorios derides, corpos vivos” by artist , curated by and “À bas l’impérialisme” by legendary French artist Ben, curated by Eva Vautier ()
•
Through installations, photography, film and painting, Brazilian artist Bianca Dacosta explores territorial memory and natural resources from a postcolonial, anti-extractivist perspective. Combining research and poetic forms, the exhibition contrasts water as a source of life and memory with the destructive impact of extractivist policies on the Amazon and the living world.

The Fondation du doute presents an exhibition dedicated to Ben Vautier, who passed away in June 2024. Spanning nearly seventy years of work, it explores his radical critique of imperialism, French centralism, and Western elitism in art, as well as his strong defense of marginalized cultures and languages, shaped by Fluxus and ethnist thought.
•
For the folded invitation, we focused on a very simple trick of a two-in-one medium. A twelve pages leaflet is holding, like a kangaroo pouch generated by three folds, a postcard of an artwork. A straightforward medium strongly linked to Fluxus and used extensively during the movement’s golden age. The leaflet includes all information on the exhibition.
