This mapping workshop is based on a corpus of references linked to the book "De la violence coloniale dans l'espace public" published in 2021 (Shed publishing).
Mapping is a method of collective reading stemming from popular education which allows the creation of a common culture around a subject by articulating theory, practice and a sensitive approach.
Seumboy Vrainom :€ is an apprentice digital shaman.
A pure heir of French colonial history, he grew up in Luth, a housing estate in the Paris region, on the 13th floor of a tower block, floating in the virtual. Faced with the difficulty of reappropriating the land, he naturally immersed himself in digital space. Torn between the technological singularity and the collapse of the thermo-industrial society, he militates for a decolonial ecology. In 2020, he founded the Youtube channel Histoires Crépues.
Madeleine is also co-director of the "Troubles, Alliances et Esthétiques" Chair at the Beaux-Arts de Paris and a permanent member of the Scientific Research Council of the ESAD, Reims.

Madeleine is currently a PhD candidate at the EHESS (CRAL), studying practices for commoning in contemporary performance.
