In 2009, four young Nepalese are recruited from their village to work in the Gulf. Over twelve years, the film follows their trajectory, shedding light on the massive phenomenon of Nepalese migration, which concerns almost half of the men under forty.
Open to the general public and free of charge, the Festival (4-11 May 2023) programmes documentary films from the four continents that question the state of the world today. Debates and workshops encourage dialogue between the public, filmmakers and researchers around the creation.

ARCH/WORLD ROOF PARTY, FEBRUARY 2023The next ARCH/Toit du Monde evening will take place with Clément Jacquemond (ATER-EPHE) who will speak on the theme:
From shamanism to shamanisms?
Perspectives on religious dynamics in the Russian Altai
This presentation provides an overview of religious practices in the Russian Altai. This region of southern Siberia, best known for the shamanism of its natives, is also historically a crossroads of cultural exchange and the meeting point of many religious currents, which has earned it the nickname "Palestine of Asia". How did the systems of representations and practices interact over time, and how did these interactions shape the pre- and post-Soviet indigenous religion? The presentation will review the different historical processes of the Altai religious and will question its contemporary socio-political dimensions.
This evening will take place on Thursday 23 February 2023 at 6pm by ZOOM:

FEBRUARY 2023 CONFERENCEVisualising marginality: contemporary art in Tibet and Tibetan artists
by Liu Chang, PhD student EPHE/CRCAO
will take place on Tuesday 21 February 2023, at 6pm, in the auditorium of the Cernuschi Museum.
Modern and contemporary art in Tibet never seems to have any connection with the art movement in the rest of the world; it rarely even participates in contemporary art activities in mainland China and remains very little known. According to the Tibetan-Chinese artist Gade (2003), it is like a strange creature, which has grown and developed without visible preparation, and which suddenly emerges as a mixture of disco neon lights, butter lamps from the Jokhang Temple and the Potala Palace, with plastic coconut leaves at its feet. This presentation attempts to show what contemporary Tibetan art can be in its social context: how Tibetan artists engage in the (de)construction of identity (local/globalized, authentic/imagined and individual/collective); what role they play at the crossroads between tradition and modernity, in the political scenario and the vagaries of the market.
