Tales of the self and the experience of reciprocity are at the heart of Carla Adra\u2019s practice. She sets up moments of encounters through collective and performative experiments in which she lets the other have a voice and allows it to be heard when that same voice is often disqualified within the domestic, the urban or the institutional spheres. In public spaces or inside structures, she collects words in return for a real-life story, and suggests moving the situation of utterance, taking on a personal story the way we put someone else\u2019s clothes on, whilst individual testimonies resonate with shared experiences. Carla Adra simultaneously develops an intimist sculptural practice opening a dialogue between inner speech and subterranean shapes. Carla Adra also channels her practice into transmitting via workshops, sessions and meetings with mixed publics through collaborating with various collectives and institutions such as: TIMMY \u2013 Soutien aux Mineurs Exil\u00e9s \u00e0 Paris, Art en Partage \u00e0 Romainville, Les Ateliers M\u00e9dicis, Orange Rouge.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Contact” css=”” link=”url:mailto%3Acarla.adra%40ensapc.fr%20″][vc_btn title=”Learn more” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.carlaadra.com%2F”][vc_empty_space height=”52px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
