The speaker lives in Marseille, writes, translates and teaches critical theory at the city's fine arts school, and published a first fiction in late October. Access is free. The talk runs from 16:00 to 18:00. A talk like this is easy to attend alone, since the audience is there to listen and think about the same subject. «Cette conférence propose une promenade à rebours dans l’œuvre et la vie du peintre, jardinier, écrivain et réalisateur anglais Derek Jarman» Starts 16:00, ends about 18:00.
