Jeanne will be featured in this 24-hour virtual marathon featuring philosophical debate and artistic performances produced in 75 countries around the world. It is coordinated by the Institut Français, Paris and co-produced by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the US.
This year’s theme, “Closing the distance” (“Proches,” in French) speaks to our shared sense of isolation and seeks to explore new means of fostering community and togetherness. Evoking the new forms of solidarity that our economic and social crises call for, as well as our changing relationship with space and mobility, this theme prompts audiences and participants to consider our relationship to today’s challenging world and those around us in thoughtful, creative, and engaging ways.
“À Paris, elle va bâtir le nouveau centre de l’Université de Chicago. Son credo : le respect de l’environnement. Rencontre avec une « starchitecte » très engagée.”
