Group Exhibition at La Factorine Explores Cultural Resistance and Otherness

exhibition · 2026-04-23

The group exhibition '[Re-]sentir tous les jours / Techniques de résistance' at La Factorine in Nancy, curated by Openspace and Veronica Valentini, runs until May 1, 2022. It features seven 'situated artistic practices' that examine how cultural behaviors shape relationships with others. Artists include Julia Gorostidi, whose digital sculpture merges symbols with flesh; Anne-Laure Franchette, whose mobile 'Be Like Water If You Can' uses recycled materials to address discrimination; Rachele Borghi, whose collage critiques archival objectivity and feminist activism; Laurie Charles, whose 'Anatomical Dissection' reimagines medical imagery with women doctors; Raúl Hott, whose video installation 'Effet _Affect' explores care through sensory exercises; and Helena Vincent, whose video triptych addresses deafness and cybernetic prosthetics. The exhibition questions how bodies and identities are formed through interaction, emotion, and resistance within shared spaces.
