Freeing the Voices

When words and sounds can sometimes become instruments of manipulation and domination, the artists seek to restore voices to those from whom they have been stolen. In societies marked by the rise of populisms, the expansion of artificial intelligence, and the multiplication of conflicts on a global scale, the voice is far from free; yet the works presented here share a common horizon: its emancipation, both individual and collective.

From April 16 to July 11, 2026

Marais Site → Galerie

1965 → 2025

In 2025, the Cité internationale des arts will celebrate its 60th anniversary, marking six decades of commitment to artistic creation, creative freedom, and the mobility of artists from around the world.
