Writing workshop on August 29 from 2 to 4 p.m. at La HALTE (Sainte-Cunégonde Park)
From July 18 to 20, Céline Huyghebaert was in micro-residence at La HALTE, where she began to compile a collection of gestures of resistance against exhaustion. Philosopher Sara Ahmed writes that simply asking oneself how to live, how to love, can already be the stone that jams the system. Resisting the user manual, the instructions, the prescriptions of what is called “a successful life.”
On August 29, Céline invites you to discover her collection of “ stones” as part of a collective writing workshop designed as a living space for sharing and exploration. No prerequisites are necessary, other than the desire to reflect and discuss together.
