Memoire de l'Avenir incorporates multidisciplinary competences of artists, educators, and individuals working towards a greater understanding of cultures, promoting intercultural and inter--cross-dicplinary understanding and exchanges, through the tools of the arts, heritage, and education.
An international workshop network in cultural places, schools, and social centres, in France, Germany, Turkey, Israel, Palestine, Senegal, and more, are connecting citizens who both learn to appreciate and acknowledge the richness of cultural and natural diversities.
MDA’s programmes aim to formulate and contribute, in the spirit of respect and reconciliation, to new outlooks for all generations, confronted with questions of individual and collective identities, acceptance, and transmission of distinct cultural and historical memories. Seeking to transcend habitual references and ways of thinking.
The various programmes propose an interactive "dialogue" between cultures, (hi)story(s), and artistic activities on a personal and collective level, as sensitive and intuitive means of expression and comprehension, developing critical knowledge, respectful communication, and better self-esteem.
The main emphasis of our approach underlines the assumption that our intuitive and creative side is an essential part of our logical construction and capacities to understand the world, produce ideas, and messages. They are jointly stimulated by the senses, observing and creating.
The "language" of art and cultural refrences (symbols) are the reflection of humanities entire journey, from nature to culture. They are amusing and most instructive tools in recognizing the "other", mutual references and common values, reinforcing one's own self identities, and the appreciation of differences.
Symbolic are living images and the sources of all creations.
since 2023 Mémoire de l'avenir developed :
Artistic Programming
Mémoire de l'Avenir organizes contemporary art events in its own space as well as satellite programs (debates, performances, etc.). The artistic and curatorial approaches adopted aim to foster a sensitive and intuitive engagement with the artworks.
Each exhibition provides tools for reflection not only on art itself, but also on the broader issues raised by the works. By questioning the world, artists bring forth ideas, give shape to emotions, and open pathways for dialogue. The works do not offer definitive answers or solutions but instead seek to explore problems that are both collective and deeply personal.
Art and Dialogue Training Workshops
In collaboration with artists, Mémoire de l'Avenir also creates and develops multidisciplinary workshops and interactive cultural mediation based on an original methodology developed by Margalit Berriet. This approach is grounded in the respectful inclusion of all cultures and identities, and promotes intuitive creativity, focusing on the notion of sensitivity as a foundation for cognitive learning.
Research and Pedagogy
Through our cultural mediation program, specifically designed for audiences with limited access to culture, artworks and museums are used as tools and spaces for dialogue, debate, and critical inquiry into contemporary issues. This mediation work not only empowers participants to navigate museum spaces independently but also encourages the emergence of diverse forms of knowledge and skills unique to each individual. These insights are then shared and valued within the collective.
