Roy Hart (France)

Description of the Erasmus+ exhibition WEAVING VOICES

at the Centre International Roy Hart

The exhibition was installed in the entrance of the Château de Malérargues (30140 Thoiras, France), the headquarters of the Centre International Roy Hart from July to September 2024.

The exhibition was open to the Château’s residents, neighbors and summer visitors (see the list of those who signed attendance sheets).

There were not only self-guided tours, but above all 9 guided tours during which there was a bilingual (English and French) verbal presentation of the project and the actions carried out over the two years of the project. The guided tours took place once a week from July to September 2024.

These presentations were interactive in that they were followed by a question-and-answer exchange, and in most of these guided tours we sang for our audience and taught them songs collected during the project.

The tour guides were Carol Mendelsohn, Laurent Stéphan and Saule Ryan from the Roy Hart Centre. Several visits were enriched by the participation of participants from other project partners: Christiane Hommelsheim and Walli Höfinger from Colaborative Reichenow e.V. in Germany and Dóra Halas, from Soharóza Nonprofit association in Budapest, Hungary.
