For the new season of the concert hall "Fri-Son" in Fribourg, Switzerland, I had the chance to contribute to a new series of flyers in postcard format. The aim was to highlight "Fri-Son" as well as "État des Choses" (Cotemporary Art Magazine) and the artist in question, i.e. me (PADOU) and Thyazen Alalawi. The visual has also been adapted in Posters for the May-July 2022 season of "Fri-Son", in the streets.
Text written on the Cards:
The Collective Memory, a mixture between myths and legends, historical facts and very many interpretations, mystical and historical at the same time. Thiyazen Alalawi artist from Yemen and I PADOU, with Swiss Palestinian background, are children of this memory that makes up our culture, our identity.
We asked ourselves which themes concern us, which we both find important. We found it in a wet withered field of flowers, once caressed by bees.

Honey as a symbol of wealth, bees as a symbol of sensitivity, and flowers where they live and die. Fragile and strong as our cultures, as the people who live, create and fade.
