Hollow path of Camille Brasselet
residence in Houlgate
Starting from the etymological translation of Houlgate as a «hollow path», I wish to bring a singular look on this maritime city of Normandy. Of Norman origin, I grew up around these landscapes and seaside towns; they fed me and remain for me a very strong anchor. This new series will be a self-fiction that will take the form of an alter ego that roams and wanders around the city. The city of Houlgate will once again echo the ambiguity between reality and fiction, by its architecture, its colors, its beach; like a decor made from any room.
The term «hollow path» evokes the paradox of a wandering where the character seeks his place: at the same time alter ego blind to the knowledge of this place, but at the same time little girl who seeks to find the traces of her past.

Odyssey of an indigenous people/ Panama by Isabelle Serro
exchanges "climate in all its forms"
In the paradise of the San Blas archipelago in Panama, where azure water meets white sand, a silent tragedy unfolds. The Gunas, an indigenous people who fled northern Colombia over a century and a half ago, are facing a ruthless enemy: climate change. At the heart of this tragedy, the island of Gardi Sugdub, once a haven for this ethnic group, is now threatened with extinction. Floods have become more and more frequent, homes are engulfed, even classrooms are flooded. If sea levels continue to rise as scientists predict, this island and many others in the archipelago will be engulfed by 2050.
Panama’s coastal communities and other parts of the world are on the front lines. The consequences affect the cultures, economies and identities of Indigenous peoples and people living in these regions.
