🎶 Concert - Jiji 🎶

Before being a musician, JiJi is a multimedia artist. Her songs are originally some poems she gathers in self-edited fanzines. Through a need to share her words more directly and sensibly, she borrows her roommates’ guitar, strums a bit, and tries her hand at singing. It’s never polish, perfect, not all the time melodious, but it’s sincere. Inspired by the “spoken word” movement and the anti-folk musical genre, her songs are an invitation to experience vulnerability as something beautiful, powerful and exhilarating.

Avant d’être musicienne, JiJi est une artiste multi-formes. Ses textes sont à l’origine des poèmes rassemblés dans des fanzines qu’elle auto-édite. Par envie de transmettre plus sensiblement et plus directement ses mots, elle pique la guitare de sa coloc, elle gratte un peu et s’essaie au chant. C’est jamais propre, parfait ou mélodieux, mais c’est sincère. Inspirée par le “spoken word” et l’anti-folk, ses chansons sont une invitation à ressentir sa vulnérabilité comme une chose belle, forte et enivrante.

📚 Book Launch!

“Where does the body end and a body of water begin? 

Celebrating the book launch in France of “Your Body of Water” by Siouxzi Connor (Repeater Books, London), the author will give a live reading from some of the autofictional book’s most diverse chapters: from a teenager in Australia falling in love with a river, to an encounter with Leda’s swan in Berlin’s club scene, to an increasingly bizarre entanglement with an ageless, swampy matriarch during Lisbon’s COVID lockdown. 

It will be followed by a lively discussion with the book’s editor Christopher DeVeau, on blurring the boundaries between autofiction and myth, the porosity of the human body with more-than-human worlds and the potential for literature to expose the complexity and often contradictory nature of the “self”. The audience will also have the chance to jump in with questions and to experience the custom-made scent based on the book’s narrative worlds.

WHAT COMES AFTER THE WAR ON DRUGS?

Join us at Artless Gallery & English Bookstore for an evening with acclaimed writer and legal scholar Kojo Koram as he presents his powerful new book, The Next Fix.

From Silicon Valley’s psychedelic boom to billion-dollar cannabis corporations, The Next Fix takes readers on a gripping journey to uncover who really wins and who loses as drugs become the next global gold rush. Blending reportage, political analysis and unforgettable human stories, Koram asks a provocative question: as laws are being debated all around the world, we need to think: is the War on Drugs ending, or simply changing its shape?
