La Maison bleue - Meeting and screening with Hamedine Kane and Fatima Bintou Rassoul Sy
Exclusive screening of the film La Maison bleue! A conversation between Hamedine Kane and Fatima Bintou Rassoul Sy, based on the artist's work, will unfold the issues that run through him, places of passage, transit and exile. Territories where attempts at resistance emerge, such as those implemented by Alpha in his house-workshop in the Calais camp. The film presents itself as a point of convergence of life trajectories, an encounter that transcends the desolation of place and politics. This subtle, intimate entry into the space of exile will open the way to the artist's other projects, notably Habiter le Monde, in which spaces open up like endless roads, and Dans l'ombre de nos fantômes, in which a deconstruction of the imbalances that govern maritime space is articulated, while invoking mythical spaces on the water between Africa, the Caribbean and Europe.

L'éloge du sensible - Visit with Hamedine Kane
L'éloge du sensible is a chapter in a new series of photos and videos by artist Hamedine Kane, stemming from his iconographic research for the project "Le livre d'image, Africa XXI #1, Les luttes". Anchored in a perpetual wandering movement, this approach explores the manifestations of the living, bypassing anxiety-provoking social and political situations. Kane favors intimate, secret spaces of production, mobilizing the power of becoming in motion. Unlike power, which is often oppressive, power always belongs to and serves the people. The confinement and violence inflicted on the people are not inevitable, for with power, the people engage in a permanent revolutionary process.

Documentary directed by Hamedine Kane
Belgium, France, Senegal - 2020 - 56 minutes - Color
Hamedine Kane films from inside the Calais Jungle, without trying to capture it as a whole. His portrait is threefold: that of his friend Alpha, complex, passionate, a builder and in search of papers; that of the jungle, from the paths of friendship and personal relationships; and that of migration, bearing witness to recent international upheavals, but also to the place that words, listening and images can play in it. "In the heart of the Calais Jungle (France), its blue facade and straw roof stand out. Designed as a reminder of his native land, the "blue house on the hill" is the work of Alpha, an artist who has been in exile for many years. When Senegalese-Mauritanian filmmaker Hamedine Kane meets him again, they naturally talk about their native village, where everything has changed since then. It's in this tone of confidence between friends and seemingly innocuous discussions that this portrait of migration unfolds, which, beneath its modest appearance, powerfully thwarts the clichés associated with this subject. Passionate, funny and sometimes angry, Alpha succeeds in creating a living space where we only see the passage, while exposing the exploitation of the migrant figure. A lesson in humanism.
