argos TV86: Myriam Van Imschoot, Le Cadeau (2018)

About this event

The event features the screening of 'Le Cadeau' (2018), a 48-minute digital film by artist Myriam Van Imschoot. The film pays tribute to the 'youyou' or 'zagharit,' a traditional shrill cry used by women in North Africa, the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa to express joy and intense emotions. It explores the personal relations women have with this sound through four portraits, culminating in a collective performance by the Brussels YOUYOU group, who broadcast their voices over Brussels from rooftops. The event highlights themes of cultural expression, tradition, and transmission.
