Feminine and Terranaissant Imaginaries: Tools Against the Domination of Spaces.
In a format resembling a conference, a woman decides to interpret and introduce us to all the possible and imaginable stories that would make us want to stop our desire for domination—over nature, over women...
Maryne Lanaro is an actress, director, and artistic director of the Collectif Grand Dehors. She is an artist-in-residence at TU.
Sergio Coto-Rivel is a professor of Latin American literature and civilization at Nantes University and a Fellow at the Nantes Institute of Advanced Studies for 2024-2025. He participates in various conferences, podcasts, and round tables on the topic of contemporary masculinity.
Born from a collaboration imagined by TU between the performing arts and sciences, and between two distinct research fields, an artist and a researcher co-create a sensitive and innovative publication of their research.
From their encounter and dialogues, emerges a form that blends conference and performance, exploring new imaginaries of knowledge. A third perspective is offered by the artists of Maison Fumetti, who create a scientific-style poster for each of these shared conversations.
