The “Résidence(s) croisée(s)” program, created in partnership with MO.CO. and supported by DRAC, is hosting Elena Salah this year. Following the residency at the FDE—UM —in the fall of 2022 and the residency at École Florian in the spring of 2022, a showcase featuring an exhibition of works created by students from the Faculty of Education and École Florian will be presented at the Faculty of Education.

This exhibition brings together a collection of traces and imprints from different horizons. It is the observation and experience of a place that gives rise to its memory. From near to far, memories of places traversed in various locations come together. The landscape—through its vegetation as well as its soil—becomes a space for experience and remembrance. “Récits d’Horizons” is organized as a collection of multiple testimonies.

Biography

Éléna Salah, born in 1986 in Montreuil, a suburb of Paris, lives and works in Sète. It was in Nantes, where she earned her degree in Fine Arts, that she developed her artistic approach by exploring sculpture through the medium of photography. She then enrolled at the Geneva University of Art and Design (HEAD) in Switzerland, where she worked with ceramics. She has exhibited, among other venues, at “L’Assaut de la Menuiserie” in Saint-Étienne as part of the 2017 Lyon Biennale, and in 2020 at three locations in the city of Villeneuve-lez-Avignon with the Frac Occitanie Montpellier for a solo exhibition. She is undertaking an artist residency in French Guiana (with a Creation Grant from the DRAC) in 2021–2022.
