MAD Parcours: Opening
Advertisement
For this year’s edition, Cloud Seven joins MAD Parcours with a program dedicated to fashion. For the opening day, Cheikha Sigil, founder of SIGIL and artistic director of Espace Médina, presents Sous le regard de la jupe de ma mère… Un autre regard, a work that addresses the experience of African mothers who have had to send their young children to war. It is shown as part of Casual/Tease, the Brussels chapter of The Memorial for Those Who Did Not Fall in War.
The installation takes the form of an enormous dress, beneath which visitors are invited to stand. The gesture recalls the first shelter we ever knew, yet the fabric is perforated with holes shaped like faces. What should conceal and protect becomes a site of exposure.
