An Evening of Sharing
Led by Jessy Razafimandimby with workshop participants
Organised with the support of Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia
Date: 22 July, Saturday| 6:00 pm
Venue: KNMA Saket
KNMA invites you to ‘Jumping Into the Dawn’, a collective performance resulting from a workshop led by Jessy Razafimandimby of the same title. Over a period of four days, participants gathered materials from a variety of backgrounds and origins to conceptualize their hats, an element that is certainly indispensable for covering the head, but also for containing, maintaining and revealing a new identity to come.
Jessy Razafimandimby (born in 1995, Madagascar) lives and works in Geneva. His work gives new life to a world inherited from the past, paying particular attention to the history of interior decoration and ornamentation, as well as to social conventions and "good manners" traditionally linked to a conservative lifestyle and promoted by a classist bourgeois system. Figures sometimes seem to melt into the work, moving into new, complex forms that reveal Razafimandimby's interest in the question of becoming. It's not so much what we become, but with whom we become it.
