Workshop around lesbian visual (counter-)cultures:
Roxanne Maillet interroge le texte, sa mise en forme et sa lecture en tant que pratique collective ainsi que dans une perspective dyke féministe. Son travail se manifeste sous les formes de reading group, de livres, de typographies, de tee shirts…
Roxanne Maillet, initiatrice depuis 2016 du Cave Club, lectures de textes écrits par des femmes qu’elle invite et dont elle fait la restranscription sous un format éditorial. Travaille actuellement avec Auriane Preud’homme à la publication du premier numéro de la revue Phylactère dédiée à la restitution et la partition de performance. Roxanne Maillet développe également un travail de recherche graphique et de diffusion autour de l’écriture inclusive et des glyphes non-genrés. Elle crée en 2017 : Out of Closet qui est une collection de mots sérigraphiés sur des t-shirts. Ce sont aussi des signes distinctifs pour un réseau de lesbiennes absolument occupées à incarner les attitudes qui les définissent.

Cette recherche a donné lieu au commissariat de la première édition de la Triennale d’art et de design de Dunkerque Gigantisme. Elle co-signe avec Hélène Guenin l’exposition au Musée d’Art Moderne et d’Art Contemporain de Nice She Bam Pow POP Wizz : les amazones du Pop, mai-septembre 2020.
