ΜΟΥ/ΜΑΣ ΑΡΕΣΟΥΝ ΠΟΛΥ ΠΟΛΥ ΤΑ ΠΑΡΤΙ (I / WE REALLY REALLY LIKE PARTIES) | BOOK PRESENTATION

The presentation has been rescheduled for Wednesday, January 28.

«Au Yaoundé, on faisait de grandes fêtes»

That’s what Alexandre Collet’s grandmother used to tell him about the great, great parties she once threw, in a distorted fantasy of a past time and place he’s never, ever been to.

The art book edited in 2025, ΜΟΥ/ΜΑΣ ΑΡΕΣΟΥΝ ΠΟΛΥ ΠΟΛΥ ΤΑ ΠΑΡΤΙ (I / WE REALLY REALLY LIKE PARTIES), is part of the artist’s broader research and is a collection of his family’s personal archival material and memory fragments turned into notes, along with his own drawings and texts. Within the edition, he tries to piece together the stories his grandmother used to narrate, while thinking of a party as a space of projection, expectation, and disappointment.

«Is there anything in common between my own queer parties and my grandmother’s parties?»

Alexandre Collet, in conversation with curator Christina Petkopoulou, will share family and personal memories of parties, following a short screening and a reading of selected excerpts from the book.

The evening will end with a special party playlist 💿✨
The presentation will be held in English.
