Image tirée du film « Les Statues meurent aussi », par Chris Marker, Alain Resnais et Ghislain Cloquet

Directed by Chris Marker, Alain Resnais and Ghislain Cloquet, "Les statues meurent aussi" (1953, french speaking, 30min.) is a short documentary based on the question: why is African art in the Musée de l'Homme, while Greek or Egyptian art is in the Louvre? The filmmakers denounce the lack of consideration for African art in a context of colonisation, and point out the obvious racism behind these choices.
The screening of this documentary short will be followed by two other screenings: Culture Capture:

  • Terminal Adddition (New Red Order, 2019), VO english, 7 min.
  • From the Campidoglio to the Zoo (Justin Randolph Thompson, 2024), VO english, 26 min.

Greg de Cuir Jr. is a freelance curator, writer and translator living in Belgrade. He co-founded and is artistic director of Kinopravda Institute in Belgrade. He curated the "Black Light" retrospective on black diasporic cinema at the Locarno Film Festival in 2019. The screenings and discussion will take place in the Salon of the exhibition "Memories. Geneva in the colonial world" exhibition.

MEG x CCA
The Centre Culturel Afropea (CCA) is an itinerant organisation that operates in the interstices of institutions, contributing to an Afro-diasporic perspective by programming interventions by artists, researchers and performers. As part of its "carte blanche" at MEG, the CCA is organising three events: a performance by artist Brutus Labiche on Sunday 20 October 2024, open to questions from the public and in dialogue with the MEG collections; three film screenings and a conversation with curator Greg de Cuir Jr on 10 November 2024; and, finally, a lecture by Trinity Mesimé Njume-Ebong and a Gilles Furtwängler performance questioning coloniality and whiteness on Saturday 7 December 2024.
