- Special encounter « Imaginary worlds... possible worlds ? ». Exchange around the inventions of places, utopian scenographies and of subversive modes of representations that allow worlds to be seen and imagined differently. In an era that is both global and fragmented, how to create passages and encounters, to make a community, to inhabit the link to the territory in displacement ? Do the sensory worlds and sensory journeys invented by artists offer spaces of insurrection of the imagination that allow the crossing of borders and come into resistance with the acceleration of the time ?
