Manon Lefébure & Tom Hebrard
Manon Lefébure is a visual artist and designer who creates at the crossroads of craftsmanship and writing. Using intimate feelings as her raw material, she seeks to evoke collective and universal emotions through her objects, often collaborating with her audiences. In her singing practice, Manon Lefébure, under the pseudonym Miaule Mort, uses a vocal looper that allows her to compose live musical stories.
Tom Hébrard is a designer and co-founder of the visual arts label OYÉ, who works on ecological transition through art, design, and education. He notably co-developed a low-tech projection tool, the visiophare, made from a school overhead projector, it allows the creation of immersive visual stories to be projected indoors or onto building facades. His motto: to create imaginaries for a desirable future, put them into action, and share them.
Together, they emphasize participatory, user-friendly tools that encourage connection and blur the boundaries between amateur and professional practice. Their art aims at social impact and popular education.
Tom and Manon are residents as part of the Récitadelles project.
The Récitadelles project is an initiative of research, creation, and action led by Aix-Marseille University, coordinated by its Laboratory for Studies in Arts Sciences (LESA, UR 3274) in cooperation with the Citadelle de Marseille, and funded by the Amidex University Foundation.
Situated in the fields of mediation and contemporary creation, Récitadelles explores polyvocality — understood as the coexistence of multiple voices or narratives — through cooperative processes of interpreting the patrimonial heritage. This approach aims to acknowledge and support current demands for equity and social justice within culture and heritage.
