Artist Suzanne Husky has been invited to hold a research and production residency at the CAP visual arts centre in Saint-Fons, in collaboration with Veduta/Biennale de Lyon 2022. The French-American artist will exhibit a set of new works created for her most recent project, which combines agroecology, environmental activism and contemporary art.
In Les leçons du peuple des marécages (“Lessons from the marshland peoples”), Suzanne Husky focuses on the past and present history of the beaver, a mammal that for centuries was brutally hunted for its fur, and nearly to extinction, in both the United States and Europe.
This exhibition offers the artist a context to stage her emphatically cross-disciplinary propaganda project, which brings together scientists, historian, activists and farmers. In an installation conceived for the CAP space, the artist invit us to reconnect with the crafts of the earth, of plants and of animals, and to learn lessons from the marshland peoples.
