"Inner Mornings, or Forms of Counterculture" – Guided tour with Émilie Houssa

Émilie Houssa (b. 1983) is an art historian and co-director of the Centre Claude Cahun in Nantes, an exhibition and education space dedicated to independent artistic practices. She previously taught art history and semiology in Montreal and Paris. Houssa writes critical essays on contemporary photography, such as the work of Juliette Agnel or Anthony Guerrée, and is also a novelist. She is currently working on her third novel, and has received support from the Centre National du Livre and the Villa Medici.

About the exhibition: How can the evolution of contemporary art serve as a lens through which to understand the history of counterculture – a phenomenon that continues to influence artistic approaches today? This question serves as a guiding force behind the exhibition Inner Mornings, or Forms of Counterculture.
