Aliha Thalien
Born in 1994, lives and works in Paris, France.
Aliha Thalien uses her life experiences as source material for her films and installations. She transposes autobiographical narratives into fictional and dreamlike spaces, thus questioning the limits of a raw and/or staged sincerity. The possibility of a critical distancing and questioning of our liberty to exist and move is born from the friction between the private and the public, the exceptional and the trivial, the singular and the common. In Aliha Thalien's films, the periphery is revealed as a place of possibility and encounter. In creating a collision between fictional spaces and the (more real? more tangible?) exhibition space, she creates a coming and going between what is in the frame and what lays beyond it, simultaneously evoking the visible, the hidden and the indescribable.

Skeleton Architecture
An exhibition from Aliha Thalien and Leonor Parda at In extenso, Clermont-Ferrand
"Poetry at times feels inaccessible, complex thoughts and emotions resumed in obscure and coded fragments. Yet poetic difficulty does not necessarily hinder the reader’s opportunity to be moved by the author’s intention, something that moves beyond form and elaborates itself through sensation. In the context of this exhibition, the poetic is to be understood as vital, regardless of its difficulty.[1] “Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before,” Audre Lorde wrote in “Poetry is not a Luxury,” from which we have borrowed our title.[2] Whether it be poetry expressed through language or form, the works of Leonor Parda and Aliha Thalien create a fluctuating landscape, leaving the viewer to be confronted with pathos as well as the unknown."

La Saison France-Portugal 2022
Décidée par le Président de la République française et le Premier ministre portugais, la Saison France-Portugal se tiendra simultanément dans les deux pays entre le 12 février et le 31 octobre 2022. Au-delà d’une programmation qui met en avant l’Europe de la Culture, la Saison France-Portugal 2022 souhaite également s’investir concrètement dans les thématiques qui nous rassemblent et que défendent nos deux pays dans l’Europe du XXIe siècle : la transition écologique et solidaire notamment à travers la thématique de l’Océan, l’égalité de genre, l’investissement de la jeunesse, le respect de la différence et les valeurs d’inclusion.
A travers plus de 200 événements, la Saison a pour ambition de mettre en lumière les multiples collaborations entre artistes, chercheurs, intellectuels, étudiants ou entrepreneurs, entre nos villes et nos régions, entre nos institutions culturelles, nos universités, nos écoles et nos associations : autant d’initiatives qui relient profondément et durablement nos territoires et contribuent à la construction européenne.
Acordada entre o Primeiro-Ministro português e o Presidente da República francesa em 2018, a Temporada Portugal-França 2022 terá lugar simultaneamente nos dois países entre 12 de fevereiro e 31 de outubro de 2022.
Para além de um programa que destaca a Europa da Cultura, a Temporada Portugal-França 2022 deseja também assumir um compromisso concreto com os temas que nos unem e que os nossos dois países defendem na Europa do século XXI: a transição ecológica e solidária, nomeadamente através do tema do Oceano, a economia responsável e sustentável, a aposta nas energias renováveis, a igualdade entre mulheres e homens, o respeito pela diferença e os valores da inclusão.
Através de mais de 200 eventos, e com vista a alargar as bases da nossa cooperação, a Temporada Portugal-França pretende destacar as numerosas colaborações entre artistas, investigadores, intelectuais, estudantes e empresários, entre as nossas cidades e regiões, entre as nossas instituições culturais, as nossas universidades, as nossas escolas e as nossas associações: iniciativas que ligam de forma profunda e sustentável os nossos territórios e contribuem para a construção europeia.
