RAW Material Company invites you to a public lecture with Alain Gomis, as part of session 7 of the RAW Académie, on Wednesday November 13th, 2019 at 6pm.

“Images, thoughts, and so on, by whom, for whom?

Taking to bring elsewhere? Testifying to elsewhere?”

Alain Gomis wonders about the international and the local. He invites us to think about an artistic production that transcends language and cultural barriers. The director proposes a creative process which takes into account our differences and thus creates a common language.

Alain Gomis is the founder of the Yennenga center which focuses on training, creation and diffusion in the fields of cinematography and audiovisual content. He invites us to think about artists’ transmission and the necessity to be well rooted in one’s context.
