Screening
Jessica Theis
This year, the Cercle Cité continues its series of screenings of short films and artists' films, which will address different aspects of inclusion, accessibility, integration and discrimination in a philosophical and original way.
These topics are highly debatable in a society that on the one hand is becoming more and more aware of the subject of identity and diversity, but which nevertheless faces difficulties in adapting to this new awareness. Migration and feminism, the search for (artistic) identity, the rights of people with special needs, the rights of people belonging to the LGBTQIA+ group and the challenges of parenthood: the themes linked to these debates are multifaceted and affect many of us.
This screening, organised in collaboration with the City of Luxembourg, presents Jessica Theis' audio-photographic project Wee bass du?, a series of photographs accompanied by recordings of various conversations.
People with mental disabilities are often prejudiced or treated differently.
The photographer has therefore decided to give them a voice through the medium of photography and the recording of their conversations during the shoot.
"Wee bass du?", "Who are you?" is always the first question asked.
Many people find it difficult to approach people with a mental disability. Art and culture can be a bridge, a neutral ground, a meeting point.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with the photographer.
The exhibition of photographs from the Wee bass du? series will be inaugurated on 18 June 2024 at Place de Strasbourg, at 16:00.
