Whether digital, inclusive, urban, or therapeutic, art is all around us now. However, it cannot be denied that on the academic front, its institutions are insufficiently inclusive of minority ethnic talent, despite the rich contributions made by the communities involved to both French and American society. By showcasing their choreographic work and bearing witness to their professional experience, Anne Nguyen, Rachid Ouramdane, Faustin Linyekula and Syhem Belkhodja have opened up a critical transatlantic dialogue and raised questions about what it means “to be a French artist abroad.”
To fight for greater multiculturalism in the arts sector
and, particularly in the performing arts, to ensure that both audiences and performers are more reflective of the generation from which they are drawn
To consider the mechanisms underlying cultural discrimination
by looking at the practices that have evolved in France and the United States
To proactively raise awareness on the part of those involved, beyond a simple human realization
... targeting training institutions, producers, critics, directors of cultural institutions, and policy-makers
