The first season, titled 'Têtes d'affiches,' emphasizes self-representation in the digital era. Featured are five workshops led by artists, including Rose Gigot's exploration of masks and makeup, Arnaud Laffond's creation of 2D posters for a virtual venue, Ne Rougissez Pas!'s 'Labographe' for graphic design, Marianna Ladreyt's sessions on wearable accessories, and Mona Young-Eun Kim's interdisciplinary installations.
