Event Description:
GSU’s CENCIA and Rialto Center for the Arts and the French Consulate General Atlanta as part of France-Atlanta 2013 present a public lecture by French actor Jacques Martial. Martial is the founder of the Compagnie de la Comédie Noire, which aims to encourage the presence of people from visible minorities in the living arts by creating, producing, promoting and diffusing cultural events.
Jacques Martial will talk about the links between culture and place and the plan he pitched – and is now carrying out – as President of the Parc de la Villette in Paris, one of the best funded cultural institutions in France. While in the past local residents, many of whom are from North Africa, used the park for family leisure and play, very few entered the major cultural facilities which are integral to the park. Jacques Martial came into the Parc with an express policy for inclusion, both for those local residents and the arts and artists from France d’Outres-Mers: he will tell us how this is playing out and about his plans for the next five years.
