Screening and discussion with Guy Wouete 

On April 20, 2016 at 7 pm

Dazibao and Vidéographe join forces to present a video program showcasing several works by Guy Wouete. A discussion between curator Pierre Beaudoin, initiator of the project, and the artist will follow the screening.

Guy Wouete’s videos address issues such as migration, borders, identity, displacement, non-places. Some of his works, in which reality goes beyond fiction, engage critically with the surrounding world, confronting political, economical and societal paradoxes.
