Rooted in a critical tradition that draws on both conceptual art and Godardian cinema, the work of Éric Baudelaire seeks to "bring into crisis" the systems of representation that structure contemporary imagination. His feature films A Flower in the Mouth, Un film dramatique, Also Known as Jihadi, Letters to Max, The Ugly one have circulated widely in film festivals. Baudelaire has had monographic exhibitions at the Witte de With, Rotterdam, Tabakalera, San Sebastian, the Fridericianum, Kassel, the Beirut Art Center, Gasworks, London, and the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, and has participated in the 2017 Whitney Biennale, the 2014 Yokohama Triennale, and so on.
In 2019, he was the recipient of a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, and the Prix Marcel Duchamp.

🎙️Mona Hackel graduated from the École Supérieure d'Art de Lorraine d'Épinal in "image and narrative", her artistic practice lies somewhere between illustration, publishing and radio. She recently published a radio documentary on Soundcloud « SOLID, mutual aid in the facing systemic violence in Athens » that takes the pulse of radical struggles from the center to the periphery of Athens.
She has also questioned the controversial term 'world music' in her music programme 'La World Music n'existe pas', looking at the diversity of traditional and popular music from around the Mediterranean, the MENA regions and the Balkans.
