Mots voyageurs? are graphic, linguistic and poetic journeys inviting us to discover the contributions of other cultures to our common language. A celebration of the cross-fertilization of the French language, based on words that came from elsewhere and traveled before being considered French, shared by all, putting into practice the idea of the Tout Monde of Martinican poet and writer Édouard Glissant.
TISSER\_MÉTISSER is a forest of kakemonos created around the "Mots voyageurs" treasure, made up of around a hundred typographic creations by graphic designers, artists, graffiti artists, typographers and contributions from the residents of Roubaix, in 2023. The work resulting from these workshops was presented in the interior courtyard of the Condition Publique before joining the Frac Grand Large collections.
For Fiesta, its 7th thematic edition, lille3000 invites artists to reactivate their piece, adapted to the theme and space of Les Halles de Wazemmes, with a selection of words rooted in festive and culinary cultures elsewhere.
The "Mots Voyageurs" collective at La Condition Publique was made up of Malte Martin/Agrafmobile and Structure Bâtons, accompanied by Charlotte Attal, Margot Laforge and Hugo Sandevoir. "Mots Voyageurs" is an artistic project initiated by Malte Martin, graphic designer and visual artist, in various formats since 2018 in La Courneuves, Belleville-Paris, Roubaix.
