SUMMARY:RADIO EN DIRECT: The Stoop Presents...Black in Paris
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#ffffff”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text]Our second event for the RADIO EN DIRECT series will be exploring the topic of Black French identity\, specifically looking at what it is to be Black in Paris. For decades\, Paris has been a place where many African Americans have felt at home. We know the stories of Josephine Baker\, Richard Wright or James Baldwin\, who had made it their base. But what is it actually like to be Black in Paris? \nWe are excited to join audio producer and co-host of The Stoop Podcast: Stories from The Black Diaspora\, Leila Day as she facilitates an audio journey exploring how blackness is defined in France and why it is that so many African Americans have been drawn to it. \nEchoing the style of The Stoop podcast\, this evening combines storytelling\, reflection\, audience involvement and commentary to dig deeper into discussion as we look at one woman’s decision to pack up and leave behind what she feels are exhausting racial tensions in the U.S. Framed by her decision to move to Paris\, the evening will dissect why so many have viewed Paris as a post-racial utopia\, and why it is that in France many people feel defining yourself as “black” is an insult. \nSpecial guests include professor and filmmaker Mame-Fatou Niang\, who recently published Identités Françaises\, a book that interrogates notions of marginalization and national identity through an analysis of housing developments outside of French cities\, or “banlieue”. \nThis event is a part of a series organized with Brooklyn Falls for France\, a cultural season organized by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and FACE Foundation in partnership with Brooklyn venues. \nUnionDocs is thrilled to host RADIO EN DIRECT\, a series of listening events featuring stories from the French-speaking diaspora\, in January and February of 2020. Each event will be centered around an audio documentary—told in French with English subtitles run on the screen— with producers present to speak to the intricacies of the craft and story being told. We are bringing together a mix of local NYC based artists with producers from around the world whose work represents the diverse and widespread French-speaking community. This series will allow listeners to come together to understand how we can see audio as a global medium that works across language\, and reflect the nuanced intimate and universal power of sound\, voice\, and listening in capturing and communicating the human experience. This series is part of Brooklyn Falls for France\, a cultural season organized by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and FACE Foundation in partnership with Brooklyn venues.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_text_separator title=”Program” color=”white” el_class=”h1″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_custom_heading text=”The Stoop: Black In Paris” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_custom_heading text=”Excerpts” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Leila will be debuting excerpts from the most recent episode of The Stoop.

SUMMARY:Radio En Direct: Un Temps de Cochon
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#ffffff”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text]UnionDocs is thrilled to host RADIO EN DIRECT in January 2020\, a series of listening events featuring stories from the French-speaking diaspora. We’re delighted to host the award-winning audio documentary Un Temps de Cochon /  Pig’s Weather from artist Benoit Bories who explores five narratives of exile and refuge in an immersive surround sound audio documentary. \nCalled “a very tight and subtle composition… Benoit Bories proceeds like an archaeologist\, literally as well as figuratively\, gradually revealing with great modesty\, without urgency\, the bruises of exile\, sections of memories that had hitherto remained in the shadows. Documentary\, play or radio work? “Un temps de cochon” are voices\, resonances\, sounds of the present\, snippets of the past\, refrains that remain. To tell as closely as possible the resurgence of memory\, the polyphony of testimonies.” \nThis piece will be introduced by Bories and followed by a conversation led by producer and UNDO Advisor Lu Olkowski. \nThis event is a part of a series organized with Brooklyn Falls for France\, a cultural season organized by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and FACE Foundation in partnership with Brooklyn venues. \nRADIO EN DIRECT will present a series of events centered around audio documentaries—told in French with English subtitles run on the screen— with producers present to speak to the intricacies of the craft and story being told. We are bringing together a mix of local NYC based artists with producers from around the world whose work represents the diverse and widespread French-speaking community.

In the midst of the “Retirada\,” the exodus of Spanish and Catalan Republican refugees from Spain\, Mercedes\, Floréal\, and Joaquim cross the Franco-Spanish border to avoid the advancement of General Franco’s Nationalist troops. Once in France\, Joaquim is transported to the Septfonds internment camp and faces an agonizing fate. At risk today of becoming an industrial pork processing facility\, Septfonds serves as a distressing symbol of war and suffering that Spanish exiles and their descendants continue to carry in their memories.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_text_separator title=”60 min” color=”white” el_class=”h1″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”130567″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Benoit Bories is a documentarist and sound creator.
