Alihan Gök, holder of the LEST/Iméra chair – Les mondes du travail 2024-2025, and Enrico Donaggio, Scientific Director of Iméra, will be speaking at the Avignon Festival’s 7th national meeting on Culture; Arts/Travail: Quand le travail entre en scène, on July 14th, 2025.
When labour takes centre stage
How can the performing arts and the social sciences help to re-examine our relationship to labour in all its complexities? How can researchers, artists and those involved in the world of work engage in dialogue with civil society to discuss contemporary issues relating to labour?
This meeting will debate the issues surrounding work at the intersection of the performing arts, social struggles and the social sciences. It explores the diversity of contemporary labour issues through the eyes of artists, actors from the world of work and researchers.

- 2:30pm: Alihan Gök will take part in the round table discussion Sensitive bodies and performing bodies: the sensitive engagement of bodies at work.
- 4:30pm: Enrico Donaggio will be taking part in the round table on Rethinking Labour to Change Life: Utopias at Work.
