What?
The “Imaginisations” cycle of conferences/performances are exploring how words and images have the power to bring us together or apart, to highlight or obscure possibilities. This power acts through our imaginaries, i.e., the mental structures through which we make sense of what we live and perceive. If words and ideas can change the world, they do it by transforming our representations and our imaginaries.
Each Imaginisations conference will focus on a single word. Through talks, artistic performances and fun exercizes, it will try to help all participants understand how different people use this word differently and why it matters, play with its meanings and uses, and “imaginize” new senses of this word.
Imaginisations takes place within Césure, at the heart of Paris’ Latin Quarter.
