Collective Joy – Learning flamboyance! is an exhibition that looks at popular cultures of gathering and group dynamics, conducive to the experience and learning of joy in our daily lives. The exhibition brings together a French and international scene of artists and initiatives inspired by ways of occupying public space: whether they be festive, social, musical, aesthetic, recreational, political or even utopian. Artists: Cindy Bannani with Lallab, Andrés Barón, Maty Biayenda, Moki Cherry, Théophylle Dcx, Soñ Gweha, Lauren Halsey, Thomas Hirschhorn, Caleb Kwarteng Prah, Les Cousines, Gordon Matta-Clark, Helina Metaferia, Dimitri Milbrun, Marilyn Nance, Bocar Niang, Lorraine O’Grady, Alberto Pitta, Resolve Collective, Pris Roos, Cauleen Smith, Endre Tót, Attandi Trawalley, Mona Varichon, Guy Woueté

By bringing together practices that are often collaborative and relational, and imbued with the principles of cultural rights and social justice, Collective Joy – Learning flamboyance! celebrates ways of creating togetherness and organising collectively. Through interactive situations and an open mic programme, the exhibition takes the form of a place of sociability that values the participation and creative expression of artists and the public.
