Why did you apply for this scholarship? How will the scholarship support you?
This grant gives me a vital boost. It's the only way for me to continue creating in the current context of survival linked to Covid-19. This grant will enable me to use my art to express everything that's been going on inside me since the confinement.
What are your concrete artistic objectives after this residency?
Continue to create in the public space to reach out to as many people as possible and create social links; Continue to invent a personal body language linked to my history.
