6-week artist residency organized by the Department of Cultural Affairs of La Courneuve, at the Maison Pour Tous Césaria Evora — a lively community center that offers cultural, educational, and social activities for people of all ages and backgrounds. <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b2b4b637d524026b58d0f56c081064285f8c50bd53f129200d4185aed99ec704/LME_AS_vue-entree_1_couleur.jpg" data-mid="239509407" border="0"

of association Fête le Mur, the mural draws inspiration from their daily gestures and familiar objects. The patterns originated in workshops, while the hands were inspired by scenes of daily life of the center. Conceived as a participatory artwork, the piece is an homage the diversity, generosity, and collective energy that define the Maison Pour Tous.

of the artwork, through moments of shared craft, conversation, and play: pouring mint tea in the weekly tea salon, drawing and cutting a sewing pattern, crafting a sari tassel, playing Scrabble, preparing Kabyle couscous (massaging semolina, dicing onions, picking coriander leaves), juggling, counting beads, drawing, knitting, writing, teaching, and painting henna. <img width="3000"

the mural were developed during a couple of workshops I led with people from the community. They were invited to bring photos or objects that reminded them of the MPT — small, personal details connected to memories or stories. Based on these fragments, we sketched and explored ideas for original patterns that reflect the MPT’s convivial, multicultural, and intergenerational character. Later, I took these ideas into my sketchbook and expanded them into a colorful graphic language that shaped the design of the final piece.

at Kiblind Atelier&nbsp; ⬇️✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ It’s an understatement to say that the emotion was palpable at the Kiblind Tower when we received the cover of the “Minuscule” issue, designed by @alicesaey. An admirer of the long-time animator and illustrator, the entire magazine team wept with joy. And they should have. For this cover, the artist went back to her greatest classics: hallucinogenic shots, biological swarms and radiant colors. As if that weren’t enough, she also varnished us with the animated version below. A chance to see these fascinating little creatures at work. <img width="1860" height="2232" width_o="1860" height_o="2232" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/40b1fb22c077fef33eaacf02c112aa0b3c9acfb91b531143568ad346622376d7/IMG_0016.jpeg" data-mid="227907468" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/40b1fb22c077fef33eaacf02c112aa0b3c9acfb91b531143568ad346622376d7/IMG_0016.jpeg" /> Coldplay — A Film for the Future https://alicesaey.com/Coldplay-A-Film-for-the-Future Sun, 19 Jan 2025 11:21:13 +0000 Alice Saey https://alicesaey.com/Coldplay-A-Film-for-the-Future COLDPLAY -&nbsp;🌈 directed by Isabel Garrett produced by Blink Ink released on Jan. 22, 2025 6” animation segment for Coldplay’s A Film for the Future, a visual accompaniment to album Moon Music, which was created by over 150 artists from 45 different countries Flaash https://alicesaey.com/Flaash Tue, 10 Dec 2024 10:59:11 +0000 Alice Saey https://alicesaey.com/Flaash Illustrations for Flaash - La revue culturelle et technique d’anticipation&nbsp;
