Le Havre

Founded in 2017, the association promotes contemporary poetry rooted in everyday life and brings together some twenty poets and slam artists. For this event, it presents a selection of texts performed as slam poetry, offering a poetic take on the city of Le Havre — its docks, its light, its people. An invitation to rediscover the 'cité océane' through the words and voices of those who live it every day.

A multidisciplinary artist and artistic director of the EKHO collective, Moumout stands out through a holistic vision of his art, spanning both visual and sonic creation.

Since 2013 in Le Havre, marine creatures have been leaving the murky waters to gradually colonise the urban landscape… Beyond the element of surprise and the questions these strange animals may raise among passers-by, the aim is to breathe new life into naturalist drawing (rarely seen in museums, as it remains undervalued) and to play on the ambiguity between science and art. By displaying crustaceans, molluscs and often uncommon fish, they are given a chance to reveal their beauty to the wider public. The choice of walls is by no means arbitrary: colour, texture, format, exposure and location all add a new dimension to each illustration.

Emmanuelle and Ghislain will share with the audience their experience as co-founders and co-directors of a deep-sea scientific expedition program. They will focus in particular on Under The Pole’s latest expedition, conducted in the Antarctic Peninsula from December 2025 to March 2026, in collaboration with the CNRS as part of the DeepLife scientific program. The conference will be followed by a book signing session for their new book, "Sub Antarctica,"which recounts this extraordinary adventure.

Imagine a film about police brutality, with no brutality. A film where nothing happens, yet you’re left baffled. Invisible violence, disguised under lawful humiliation. Domination wrapped in polite protocols. I started talking about making this short film back in 2018, but the idea of it was haunting me, probably since the late 90s, when I started being constantly stopped by the police for “random identity checks”. I felt a certain urgency to tell this very personal story.
