Les Temps de la parole invites visitors to take a seat within the Parliament of Ghosts installation, designed as a space for exchange and an agora. These gatherings bring together the artists of the exhibition as well as guest artists in dialogue with Ibrahim Mahama’s practice, art schools, and partner institutions. 

On Saturday, October 24, a day of talks will bring the artists of The Harvest Season into dialogue with thinkers, researchers, architects, and artists. Drawing from the works in the exhibition and the history of the Parliament of Ghosts, this program aims to explore key themes of the project through cross-disciplinary exchanges.
