AOZIZ
est un réseau que nous souhaitons ouvert, inclusif et
intersectionnel, afin de lutter contre l'exclusion sociale
dans le secteur culturel. Cette structure crée les
conditions d'une plus
grande diversité dans le secteur. Ce réseau s'est
constitué à Marseille, à partir de
2018,
autour des questions intersectionnelles des droits LGBTQ+, des
migrant-es ou demandeurs d'asile et
des minorités en général
(féministes, musulman-es, porteurs de handicaps, etc.). Festival AOZIZ - nouveau site Internet CLICK HERE |
AOZIZ is a network of inclusive houses founded by two
live performance companies based in Marseille,
as a humanities research
organization.
With a
particular capacity to work with mixed groups of disabled and
non-disabled
people, discriminated minorities or migrant people, body, arts and
intersectionality practices are at the heart of the AOZIZ
project. Our aim is to stimulate new intercultural
encounters, and thus, create a meeting point for diversity and the
creation of
alternative ways of being together.
To do so, AOZIZ
hosts a varied
program of courses, workshops, conferences and residencies, inviting
artists and
audiences to deepen their research and exchange their ideas.
AOZIZ was present at the international bienal, Manifesta
13 Marseille (despite the issues we had to face),
which wished to highlight this local
initiative, opened to all. Our network is also present during
Marseille
Prides, and is closely working each year with the Festival
of Marseille, alongside with associations of migrants, health
prevention NGOs, and
those fighting against all discriminations.
AOZIZ is a
space of embodied meetings, which will extend its activities
permanently. It
takes the language of inclusion and makes it exist in bodies and
spirits. It is a
place
centered on practices, bonds between people. It makes no
judgment on what ideal bodies or identities should be, but rather
cultivates the
aesthetic
based on relationships, through an intersectionaly queer perspective.
