The event will take place at the Good Hotel, which is a two-minute walk from In Between. The conversation will consider Amouzou’s work, in the context of it’s location at the Royal Docks.
The discussion will take place in French with translation.
A paid bar is available in the hotel.
Hélène Amouzou was born in Togo, West Africa, in 1969 and has been living in Brussels (Belgium) for the last twenty years. In 2004, she went to study photography and video at the Académie de Dessin et des Arts visuels of Molenbeek-Saint-Jean. Photography has proved to be the medium best suited for her artistic research and technical experiments. She prefers to work with film, which she sees as demanding greater attention to detail. She creates her own distinctive and haunting imagery, which speaks to the contemporary issue of people in exile and of those invisibilised. In Between, her first UK public commission, will launch on The Line on 18 June 2025 during Refugee Week.
Jean-François Manicom is the Senior Curator of the Museum of London Docklands (London – UK). Prior to this role, he was the Lead Curator of the International Slavery Museum. His expertise lies in cultural management and curation, specifically contemporary visual arts, Black Atlantic heritage and creative approaches to Human Rights. Before coming to the UK, he worked as curator of the permanent collection of the Memorial ACTe (Guadeloupe – French West Indies), which is the first memorial site dedicated to the history of slavery and to the expression of contemporary Caribbean Art in the Caribbean region. In 2015, he directed and curated the first Caribbean Festival of the Image that showcased the works of 41 contemporary artists from the Caribbean. With an expertise on photography, photographic archives and contemporary visual art, Jean-François has curated multiple exhibitions since 1998 that focus on the visual archives of slavery and its legacies in contemporary post-plantation societies, in France, the Caribbean and the UK. He is an internationally prized photographer and film director, whose work questions the universal enigmas of our nowadays, in a world where multiple and fragmented pasts challenge our power to imagine new possible futures.
