Thierry Boutonnier and Julie Le Gall
Born in 1980 in the South-West of France, Thierry Boutonnier claims his agricultural origins and develops his artistic practice by confronting the question of domestication. He combines the arts and life sciences during his academic career and through his collective experiments.
It is also because of her Breton agricultural origins that Julie Le Gall began her research on access for all to better agriculture and food, claiming with her colleague Camille Hochedez of the University of Poitiers the concept of agricultural justice. food. Along the same lines, she co-founded the Marguerite Network, an association that supports secondary school students and teachers on agri-food education projects, recalling the role of the School in the transformation of territories. For the past few years, his sensitivity has guided him towards supporting young people to deal with the uncertainty of the Anthropocene.
Thierry Boutonnier and Julie Le Gall set up the Selfood / Sugar Killer research-creation project with Aurélie Rogé from Henri Barbusse college. This criminal investigation around sugar invites college students to observe the contradictory injunctions to which we are subjected as consumers and to question the actors – industrialists, politicians, scientists – who are at the origin of them. One way to explore the challenges of sustainable food in the Lyon metropolis.
