Exposition artistique ARTchipelago \u00e0 l\u2019IFM de Rose-Hill<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

<\/p>\n

Le 20 juin 2014, l\u2019association pARTage a c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9 ses dix ans et l\u2019ann\u00e9e internationale des Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Dans ce contexte, l\u2019association a regroup\u00e9 plusieurs artistes autour du concept d\u2019archipel lors d\u2019un atelier de travail de 15 jours. C\u2019\u00e9tait l\u2019occasion de rencontres multiculturelles, de partage d\u2019id\u00e9es et d\u2019exp\u00e9riences d\u00e9bouchant sur une conf\u00e9rence et une exposition d\u2019\u0153uvres de 26 artistes mauriciens et \u00e9trangers intitul\u00e9e \u00ab ARTchipelago \u00bb. <\/span><\/p>\n

Exposition : L\u2019exposition a eu lieu \u00e0 18H00 \u00e0 l\u2019Institut Fran\u00e7ais de Maurice (IFM) le vendredi 20 juin. A travers cette exposition, les artistes souhaitent sensibiliser le public aux d\u00e9fis des petits Etats insulaires dans le monde, ceux-ci \u00e9tant les premi\u00e8res victimes du changement climatique. Si Maurice se souviendra pendant longtemps encore des \u00ab flash floods \u00bb, les Seychelles ont v\u00e9cu des inondations et des glissements de terrain. A Moroni, le village de Mahal\u00e9 a tendance \u00e0 se d\u00e9tacher du reste de l\u2019\u00eele car une crevasse s\u2019installe progressivement tout autour du village. Ce ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne a commenc\u00e9 depuis le 29 mars dernier et s\u2019amplifie. Environ 200 familles ont \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9vacu\u00e9es par l\u2019arm\u00e9e et les sapeurs-pompiers. Les travaux des artistes nous rappellent que la beaut\u00e9 des \u00eeles est fragile et pr\u00e9caire. Par cons\u00e9quent, le sens de responsabilit\u00e9 de chaque citoyen envers la plan\u00e8te est n\u00e9cessaire pour assurer l\u2019avenir des g\u00e9n\u00e9rations futures. <\/span><\/p>\n

Artistes de la R\u00e9publique de Maurice : Elizabeth de Marcy Chelin, Gerard Foy, Sultana Haukim, Nirmal Hurry, Krishna Luchoomun, Neermala Luckeenarain, Arvind Ombika, Mala Ramyead, Jacques D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Wong So (Rodrigues) et Shiraz Bayjoo (UK\/Mauritius).<\/span><\/p>\n

Oc\u00e9an Indien : Genevi\u00e8ve Alaguiry (R\u00e9union), Mounir Allaoui (Comores\/R\u00e9union), Franco Clerc (Madagascar), Barry Antoine Gertrude & Morel Rita (Seychelles), Sharlene Khan & Jill Trappler (Afrique du Sud)<\/span><\/p>\n

Europe & autres pays : Monica de Miranda (Portugal), Nicola Gear (Ecosse\/Grande Bretagne), Myriam Mechita (France), Monika Frycova (R\u00e9publique Tch\u00e8que\/Islande), Maja Godlewska & Marek Ranis (Pologne\/Etats-Unis), Pasi Janne Jarvinen (Finlande), Malin Lennstrom-Ortwall (Su\u00e8de\/Norv\u00e8ge), Mohammad Rahman (Bangladesh)<\/span><\/p>\n

Conf\u00e9rence : Une conf\u00e9rence a eu lieu le samedi 14 juin 2014. Un des intervenants, Marek Ranis, artiste et Assistant Professor au D\u00e9partement des Arts et de l\u2019Histoire de l\u2019Art au College of Art & Architecture, University of North Carolina, a d\u00e9crit plusieurs r\u00e9gions o\u00f9 les Eskimos souffrent \u00e0 cause de la fonte des glaces. Pour sensibiliser le public, Marek Ranis s\u2019inspire du Larsen Ice Shelf, structure rest\u00e9e stable depuis 12,000 ans en Antarctique, mais dont le secteur B (Larsen B) s\u2019est effondr\u00e9 en 2002. Il a d\u00e9marr\u00e9 son projet Albedo (en latin, blanc) en 2004. Il tente de faire prendre conscience des cinq \u00e9l\u00e9ments dans l\u2019esth\u00e9tique : la beaut\u00e9, le sublime, le tragique, le laid et le comique. Les travaux artistiques repr\u00e9sentent un moyen, entre autres dispositifs, d\u2019expliquer la fonte des glaces, le r\u00e9chauffement climatique, et la mont\u00e9e du niveau des oc\u00e9ans au grand public, et de faire entendre la voix des Indiens d\u2019Am\u00e9rique, notamment de l\u2019Alaska, sur l\u2019\u00e9rosion affectant les zones c\u00f4ti\u00e8res et la mani\u00e8re de vivre des habitants. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ci-dessous le t\u00e9moignage d\u2019un Yupiak du village d\u2019Akiak en Alaska [http:\/\/www.climatestories.us\/stories\/all\/detail\/2]<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab Everything is changing so quickly. Lakes are drying, new insects are appearing, permafrost is melting, berries are disappearing, storms are fiercer, and polar bears are drowning. Our temperatures are increasing, our ice is melting, our oceans are acidifying, and our sea levels are rising.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our villages are quite literally being swept away into the sea because of coastal erosion. My family\u2019s house in the village where I was born fell into the river, and a cemetery with the remains of village elders has had to be moved. We lost a community hospital to erosion.<\/span><\/p>\n

People are moving further inland and to higher ground, away from where they were born and where our people have lived for generations. Because infrastructure is so expensive, far too many people from these villages are becoming climate change refugees.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re fighting as hard as we can to preserve our traditions in this changing landscape, and to adapt. In fact, we are installing wind power in very remote communities. Some of the small villages are assessing biomass facilities using forestry waste. Some are analyzing geothermal power plants.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have joined other tribal leaders from around the country in testifying before Congress, asking the federal government to help us and to act to combat climate change. Because we are so remote in Alaska, we must tell people what is happening there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our traditions have withstood the test of time. But if we want to preserve them for generations into the future, we must address the threats from climate change.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Selon le Pr\u00e9sident de l\u2019association pARTage, Krishna Luchoomun, son \u00e9quipe a \u00e9labor\u00e9 plusieurs projets dans le domaine des arts et de la culture depuis novembre 2003, date officielle de son enregistrement et lancement. Les \u00e9changes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s fructueux au niveau du grand public mais aussi dans le secteur \u00e9ducatif. Plusieurs \u00e9tudiants de la School of Fine Arts du Mahatma Gandhi Institute (MGI) ont eu l\u2019occasion de rencontrer des enseignants et \u00e9tudiants tant sur le plan local, r\u00e9gional qu\u2019international lors des s\u00e9minaires de partage. Ils ont ainsi \u00e9t\u00e9 largement expos\u00e9s aux r\u00e9alit\u00e9s sociales et artistiques du monde entier. Beaucoup ont d\u00e9couvert et\/ou mieux appr\u00e9hend\u00e9 les r\u00e9alit\u00e9s r\u00e9gionales. Toutefois, Krishna Luchoomun d\u00e9plore le manque d\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat des institutions pour les projets artistiques et l\u2019absence d\u2019aides CSR pour les soutenir financi\u00e8rement. Tout projet artistique est donc un parcours du combattant. Par ailleurs, le soutien et la solidarit\u00e9 de la famille, des coll\u00e8gues et des amis sont n\u00e9cessaires pour la p\u00e9rennisation des actions de l\u2019association pARTage. <\/span><\/p>\n

A noter que les sponsors pour l\u2019\u00e9v\u00e8nement du 20 juin \u00e9taient la Commission de l\u2019Oc\u00e9an Indien (COI), le Hennessy Park Hotel, l\u2019IFM, le minist\u00e8re des Arts et de la Culture et la Standard Bank. Le repr\u00e9sentant de la Standard Bank a insist\u00e9 sur l\u2019importance de promouvoir les arts et la culture dans toute soci\u00e9t\u00e9 multiculturelle. D\u2019ailleurs, c\u2019est l\u2019un des objectifs majeurs de cette banque en Afrique du Sud.<\/span><\/p>\n

Esp\u00e9rons que les membres de l\u2019association pARTage continueront \u00e0 offrir une plateforme dynamique et interactive aux artistes locaux, r\u00e9gionaux et internationaux afin qu\u2019ils puissent faire valoir leurs \u0153uvres et sensibiliser le grand public aux d\u00e9fis du 21e si\u00e8cle.
