We and the others
From prejudice to racism

3
00:09.920 --> 00:13.000
The exhibition "Us and the others
prejudice to racism" is part of the

4
00:13.040 --> 00:15.960
civic will and commitment
of the Museum of Man.

5
00:16.080 --> 00:20.080
Since its renovation, it has been a place
of debate and citizen commitment

6
00:20.112 --> 00:22.552
to figure out where we came from.
and where we're going.

7
00:22.960 --> 00:24.770
The exhibition was born from the will

8
00:24.826 --> 00:27.567
to understand the mechanisms
that lead to racism,

9
00:27.680 --> 00:31.840
to understand how historically,
sociologically, psychologically,

10
00:31.960 --> 00:36.080
we are led to categorize,
or even exclude others.

11
00:36.144 --> 00:37.691
And how these processes,

12
00:37.800 --> 00:39.527
since we know them,
can be stopped

13
00:43.800 --> 00:46.573
This film workshop
for animated cartoons

14
00:46.636 --> 00:48.729
as part of the Exhibition
"We and the Others"

15
00:48.799 --> 00:50.073
at the Museum of Man

16
00:50.268 --> 00:52.767
was born of a meeting

17
00:52.854 --> 00:54.970
between the Museum of Man,

18
00:55.002 --> 00:57.923
"Passeurs d'images" network
at Arcadi and myself.

19
00:57.986 --> 01:00.173
This public workshop project

20
01:00.268 --> 01:01.439
which is being deployed today,

21
01:01.479 --> 01:04.853
is the result of a partnership
with the Museum of Man.

22
01:06.002 --> 01:09.521
Because the Museum of Mank
had heard of a movie

23
01:09.584 --> 01:12.888
co-produced by Arcadi
in the frame of Passeurs d'images

24
01:13.175 --> 01:18.310
that questioned the representation
of skin color racism in France.

25
01:18.479 --> 01:22.737
And then very quickly was born
the idea to add on

26
01:22.784 --> 01:26.846
this element of the exhibition
by mini workshops,

27
01:26.902 --> 01:29.151
so artistic practice.

28
01:29.519 --> 01:32.003
That is to say
to offer visitors

29
01:32.128 --> 01:35.589
more than the interactive version
of the film

30
01:35.831 --> 01:39.159
as presented
in the exhibition.

31
01:46.880 --> 01:49.120
First of all
we offer people

32
01:49.160 --> 01:51.840
to participate in the cutting.

33
01:52.040 --> 01:54.040
So we offer them
paper content

34
01:54.120 --> 01:56.320
related to the exhibition
"Us and the Others",

35
01:56.560 --> 01:58.840
which is the subject of
this grand opening day.

36
01:58.880 --> 02:03.280
And so people can use
all the resources we offer them,

37
02:03.360 --> 02:05.400
imagine the concept
of their movie,

38
02:05.480 --> 02:07.800
and then prepare
the shooting phase,

39
02:07.960 --> 02:10.760
where they will animate their papers,
their characters, the words...

40
02:10.920 --> 02:14.280
Where they can play with
all the content they cut out.

41
02:14.480 --> 02:16.160
The second step,
we offer them

42
02:16.200 --> 02:17.400
to come and shoot their movie,

43
02:17.480 --> 02:20.320
to animate their film,
which will be a film in sequence shot.

44
02:20.560 --> 02:23.960
That means it's edited in the camera,
there is no editing phase.

45
02:24.080 --> 02:27.080
And then they animate their movie
as they wish.

46
02:27.240 --> 02:29.880
And they shoot it with a tablet
that we put at their disposal.

47
02:29.960 --> 02:33.320
Third phase, they're going to be able to
watch their movie

48
02:33.360 --> 02:36.280
on a wall of the Atrium,

49
02:36.360 --> 02:40.400
and then we broadcast the movie on the
YouTube channel of the Museum of Man

50
02:40.800 --> 02:43.160
to be able to make
all the films available,

51
02:43.400 --> 02:47.520
but also send the film's link
to each participant,

52
02:47.800 --> 02:51.840
so that everyone can get hold of it and
share it on social networks.

53
02:54.880 --> 02:56.040
I wasn't expecting to participate
at the workshop,

54
02:56.080 --> 02:57.640
I just thought I'd watch
what would happen,

55
02:57.720 --> 02:59.320
and finally
we sat down,

56
02:59.320 --> 03:03.120
and we had fun.
like we're seven years old.

57
03:03.680 --> 03:05.993
I wouldn't have done it spontaneously,
I confess.

58
03:06.040 --> 03:07.920
But by letting yourself be drawn away...

59
03:07.960 --> 03:09.880
let's go, and we're happy
for participating in this.

60
03:09.920 --> 03:12.840
And we're gonna be happy to have
done something

61
03:12.920 --> 03:15.480
that a seven-year-old can do,
but which is very important.

62
03:17.400 --> 03:21.320
Not only are people happy
to make movies,

63
03:21.520 --> 03:25.760
but they're also learning something.
about what a movie is,

64
03:25.880 --> 03:29.520
how to give meaning to an image,
how to create meaning.

65
03:29.560 --> 03:34.800
Since we're on a specific theme
which is prejudice, racism,

66
03:35.080 --> 03:37.720
this is an opportunity for people
to build a speech,

67
03:37.800 --> 03:40.120
if you can call it that,
but in audiovisual form.

68
03:43.240 --> 03:46.800
I especially liked
the very inventive side

69
03:47.240 --> 03:50.000
and very free way that
the workshop allowed.

70
03:50.320 --> 03:53.480
And most importantly, it allowed me to see
that the kids were playing along.

71
03:53.720 --> 03:57.560
I noticed through this work
that they got into the subject.

72
03:57.880 --> 04:00.720
They really worked
on the notion of difference.

73
04:00.880 --> 04:02.960
Since they're girls, they have
worked on the girl and boy difference,

74
04:03.040 --> 04:05.680
it's the things that make them
work a lot at eight years old.

75
04:05.760 --> 04:07.920
But also on the notion
of living together,

76
04:07.960 --> 04:10.600
on the notion of loving each other.

77
04:10.840 --> 04:14.640
I could see that they really
became aware of the subject's content,

78
04:14.880 --> 04:17.480
and above all, what is possible
to do with a drawing

79
04:17.760 --> 04:20.440
and the thought that they
built by themselves

80
04:20.560 --> 04:22.440
without being told to do this
or to do that.

81
04:22.800 --> 04:26.600
I saw it was working,
that it had a real echo in them,

82
04:26.880 --> 04:29.960
a real thought that translated
then by drawings, cut-outs

83
04:30.080 --> 04:31.520
and a little movie that was built.
