The Frac Weekend is the national highlight for the network of regional contemporary art funds, a weekend during which the twenty-two Frac centers are buzzing with activity and offering a particularly dense and festive program to the public.
On this occasion, discover the program at the IAC Villeurbanne based on Josèfa Ntjma's solo exhibition, INTRICATIONS [Entanglements].
They will guide you behind the scenes of the exhibition: the formal choices, the mythical figures evoked, the layers of memory, and the invisible connections between voices, materials, and spaces.
A special moment where the artistic gaze and curatorial reflection intersect to reveal the folds, resonances, and potentialities of INTRICATIONS [Entanglements].
♦Reservation does not include entry ticket.
This futuristic cult classic offers a visionary journey through stories of reinventing Black identity, speculative cosmology, and cultural resistance. Ra, a messenger sent by the ancestors, accompanied by his Arkestra, embodies an intergalactic ambassador tasked with teleporting the Black diaspora to another planet. At the heart of Space Is the Place, jazz and the cosmos become the site of emancipation, re-enchantment of the world, and struggle.
