Histoires Histoire is the first part of a series of exhibition and reflective contexts that take as their starting point the writings of the Polish researcher in feminist theories and memory studies, Marianne Hirsch. Proposing to think about the mobility of memory and the potential of History, the exhibition crosses the gaze of artists from the international scene whose (re)reading of History highlights their ability to propose new avenues through the insemination - ever increasing - of the narrative. The works presented in the form of videos, texts, objects and installations thus reveal a shared memory, tackling historical events and socio-political contexts which, in encountering personal or fictional narrative, form tools in the hands of artists to work on the factual as a material and as entry point to varied perspectives.
