Words Don’t Come Easy Festival

In the tradition of Waulking songs, the Words Don’t Come Easy Festival seeks to create spaces for encounter and reflection on the forms of knowledge transmission and circulation.
“Words […] Don’t Come Easy to me” – the opening lyrics of F.R. David’s song – resonate with other contexts. Sometimes, words don’t come easily to me; they can take time to reach me, when they are carried on the wind, or by the voices of queer people, of minority groups.
Work songs, blending voices, synchronized gestures, and words of resistance, have long been used in working-class communities to bolster courage or pass on skills. This is how we discover the Waulking songs that accompany the practice of fulling.
Within this cozy space, two days of exploration and exchange will unfold thanks to a selection of books to consult and files to exchange, a lively writing workshop, a sprawling show & tell, an epic concert, an enveloping conference, a woven reading and a crispy cooking workshop.
An event organized by Alice Laurichesse in collaboration with Lucie Bouchet, Antinéa Chapon and Marcus Malinvaud.
