Additional Information:

Itinéraires Fantômes is an oracle deck created by Alexandra Grant with Hélène Cixous in celebration of Hélène's work. The Itinéraires Fantômes deck is organized in conjunction with the exhibition Itinéraires Fantômes, curated by Marion Vasseur Raluy and Ana Iwataki, which runs from June 21, 2024 to January 19, 2025 at the CAPC Musée d'art Contemporain de Bordeaux. The Itinéraires Fantômes deck consists of 72 cards in six categories: animots, creatures, and entities that include Those from Below, Those from Above, Those Who Fly/Steal, who travel via Portals, manipulate Messages and Symbols, and have Superpowers. The cards are accompanied by a booklet in English and French. The images on the Itinéraires Fantômes cards come from family, friends, and artists who have been inspired by and inspired Hélène's writing. Hélène Cixous is a multi-hyphenate French writer, philosopher, and playwright born in Oran, Algeria, whose writing, since 1969’s Dedans (Inside), has pushed against literary genres. As an academic, Cixous co-founded Paris University VIII in 1969 and founded the first Women’s Studies program in Europe. She has collaborated extensively with visual artists as well as contemplated their work in her writing. Cixous gave an early manuscript of her 2022 work Mdeilmm to Grant as the basis or inspiration for the Itinéraires Fantômes deck and exhibition. ISBN: 9781737838890
