This fall, the Labo is pleased to welcome Dorothea Seror, a German artist and performer based in Munich, as a special guest! She will guide this week’s theme: « Weaving your identity ».

A workshop combining recycling and intimate stories

Throughout the week, Dorothea Seror will be offering an artistic creation workshop. Each participant will create a personalized object based on their own story, materials (clothing/objects) and memories, by recycling an object that holds meaning for them.

– every morning from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. in parallel with other workshops
– and every afternoon from 2pm to 5pm in a crossover format with the other workshops.
It will culminate in a collective performance at the Café des Désirs on Friday morning.
