This year's Coachella event will be an exciting one as it includes a lineup of French artists which have recently been at the peak of their popularity. Woodkid, Laurent Garnier, Caravan Palace, DJ Falcon, Carbon Airways, Aron Ottignon, James Vincent McMorrow... will all be performing at the internationally acclaimed California festival.

Each Friday evening starting at 5 pm, Patricia Fernández will present a performative lecture that explores in greater depth a specific personal narrative or regional history connected with the memory archive she is creating for Points of Departure (between Spain and France). As Fernández makes objects that re-perform the experiences and memories of interviewees to create a non-linear narrative of historical events, so do her lectures in the gallery re-create these experiences and memories as a form of oral history.
