La médiathèque
Esther Kempf and noa language school
La médiathèque comprises a collection of publications, texts and excerpts from books, as well as videos, films and sound materials that have inspired and continue to inspire us in the development of the school´s activities.
Artists have contributed by suggesting / providing / lending us source material that is relevant to their language sessions. Mounira and Angela gathered material that they have read and collected during the past months in preparation for the school. Esther Kempf has been invited to make her own selection of this material and develop a transient mobile structure to display this content.
Visitors and participants can consult la médiathèque by Esther Kempf at Goleb and SMBA.
