La première édition du festival Currents a débuté depuis le 18 mars dernier à Phnom Penh, au Cambodge. A travers une série d’événements — expositions, performances, workshops, colloques et projections de films – le festival Currents prend place au sein de nombreux espaces dans toute la ville de Phnom Penh et présente un programme interdisciplinaire (architecture, art, urbanisme, film, etc.).

Currents propose de regarder et comprendre les espaces publics en tant qu’ils participent à former nos relations avec les humains mais aussi les objets, les architectures et la ville. Le festival souhaite ainsi engager et partager des manières de comprendre différemment les communautés et les villes que nous habitons.

 » En d’autres termes, Currents examine la mobilité et la convergence par lesquelles sont produits le sens des relations sociales, nos subjectivités et la ville » . Traduction de l’extrait du programme du festival, disponible ici.
