• Roxanne Maillet - MESSY, MAIS SI (MESSY, BUT IF)

  Roxanne Maillet interrogates text, its shaping and reading as a collective practice as well as from a feminist dyke perspective. Her work manifests itself in the form of reading groups, books, typographies, t-shirts… She is the initiator, since 2016, of the Cave Club: sessions of readings of texts written by women that she invites - texts that she transcribes into an editorial format. She is currently working with Auriane Preud’homme on the publication of the first issue of the journal Phylactère dedicated to the restitution and scoring of performances. Roxanne Maillet is also developing graphic research and dissemination work around inclusive writing and non-generic glyphs. In 2017, she created “Out of Closet”, a collection of words silk-screened on t-shirts. They are also distinctive signs for a network of lesbians absolutely busy embodying the attitudes that define them. Roxanne Maillet is a graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Lyon and the École Supérieure des Arts - École de Recherche Graphique (ERG) in Brussels.

• Tom Hébrard - From object design to environment design. A practical overview of a designer’s approach to the challenges of ecological transition.

  By building bridges between disciplines, Tom Hébrard endeavours to propose a “transverse” vision of society at a time when the socio-technical paradigm is being completely questioned. His core subjects are ecological redirection, low-tech and conviviality. In this way, he questions our ways of being and doing together. Art, a popular space for the expression of the imaginary, allows him to create without the constraints of design and to mobilise. Design, an omnipresent and discreet discipline, allows us to renew our relationship with the specifications and with political or technical actions. Producing objects and working with institutions are ways of rethinking lifestyles and everyday life. Teaching at the Ecole Boulle or at Villette Makerz allows us to pass on and think about emerging professions and the redirections to be envisaged in the art professions and in design in particular.
