On September 27, Radicale 1924 opened its inaugural season and first art residency cycle. For one week the artists lived and worked in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, France under the rubric of PARADE. The 1917 Ballet acts as a trigger to the Art Residency Program and to celebrate Saint-Cirq-Lapopie’s connection to art history and in particular to surrealism. *

Radicale 1924 organizes PARADE as a public event on Friday, October 1st 2021, 16h.
The group of artists invited by Radicale 1924’s Founder and Director, Chantal Yzermans, will present a series of interventions and actions throughout different locations in the village. With the company of the mayor, Monsieur Gérard Miquel and other cultural agents of the region, the promenade will follow an itinerary from la Porte de Rocamadour to the highest point in the village, la Tour La Popie.
