Bonjour, pour ce premier podcast, je suis tellement heureuse de te marater. Je suis le créateur archi-étraque de la maison Artéphée, qui ne fait pas que des vêtements, mais des axes de vie. La maison Artéphée se définit comme une maison culturelle qui est spécialisée à la création de pièces uniques et de la photographie. Et leurs démarches sont durables et elles reposent sur le tisanada, l'excellence tisanale et la mode. Ils définissent en valeur comme la créativité et utilisent leur passion dans leur héritage, leur culture, leur individualité et surtout leur authenticité. Ainsi, ne se définit pas comme un fashion designer, il se définit comme un cultural designer. que ce qu'il crée n'est ni une tendance ni un produit, c'est une œuvre habitée par l'émotion, la mémoire, les cultures et la valeur humaine. Il dit « We make culture » . Son travail se situe entre l'art, l'artisanat, le rituel et le sacré. Il mêle la détection ancienne, des broderies, des peurs, des savoir-faire traditionnels, mélange tous les folklores. Et ils les déconstruisent, ils les hybridisent, ils les détournent. Pas pour les effacer, mais pour leur donner justement une nouvelle vie, une nouvelle identité. Pour Artie, la création est un geste de réparation. Il le dit lui-même et il répare sa mémoire à travers ses vêtements. Il prend l'ancien, l'usé, l'abîmé, le chargé d'histoire et lance quelque chose de vivant, de joyeux, de lumineux. Une forme de rigueur. Son œuvre est traversée par une idée sombre, par reliance et l'hybridation. Il embrasse le mélange des gens avec une voix jubilatoire. Relier les cultures sans l'ennemi, relier le passé et le présent, relier le sacré et le profane, relier les corps, les identités, les émotions. Avant de créer des vêtements, Archer était danseur classique pendant 20 ans. Et cette danse ne l'a jamais quitté. Il dit « If I don't dance my work, I don't do it » . Créer doit rester léger, fluide, sans lourdeur, sans violence, même quand le geste est politique. C'est joyeux. Face à un monde dominé par la reproduction, la vitesse et l'intelligence artificielle, il affirme un hyperhumanisme, ce qui ne se copie pas. Ce sont les émotions, les souvenirs, les rêves. Ces pièces sont finies, comme les personnes qui les portent. Ils refusent l'uniforme, ils refusent que l'on porte une marque, ils veulent que l'on se porte soi-même. Ce manifeste est clair. Liking yourself is a rebellious act. Dans une société qui prospère sur le doute, s'aimer devient un acte de résistance. La photographie prolonge ce jeu. Elle n'est pas un outil de vente, mais un journal intime, un tableau contemporain, une apparition qui fixe l'énergie du moment au fond, artistale de liberté, de joie, de beauté, force de réparation, de célébration de vie, de foi en l'amour et de la liberté. Parce que pour lui, c'est sûr, la beauté peut changer le monde. Alors aujourd'hui, dans ce post-cast, nous allons parler de la possession, de l'éloignement, d'identité, de sacré et de cette conviction profonde que la beauté, quand elle est vraie, fait encore sauver quelque chose d'une. Bonjour, je m'appelle Sarah. Merci beaucoup. Merci beaucoup. Merci beaucoup. Peux-tu me dire ce que tu penses ? Juste pour me dire ce que c'est, pour m'expliquer ce que c'est. C'est mon cœur. C'est mon cœur. Oui. Où je suis ? Ce que je vois ? Qu'est-ce que tu fais ?
- Speaker #1
Je suis très honnête.
- Speaker #0
Honnête. Tu es très honnête.
- Speaker #1
C'est ce que tu as, c'est ce que tu as fait,
- Speaker #0
It's only honest.
- Speaker #1
It's only honest. You're very honest. You're perfectly, I'm not the stupid one.
- Speaker #0
You're perfectly pure. Yeah,
- Speaker #1
I'm not honest. Honest. And I have a community manager, a manager of the station. Only that? Only that. So they try to keep it private and create this kind of work. That kind of thing, that would be very, um... Not only emotional, but very intimate.
- Speaker #0
Yeah.
- Speaker #1
It cannot be very deep.
- Speaker #0
Of course it cannot.
- Speaker #1
But it is the magic of it.
- Speaker #0
Yeah, but what is the magic of it for you?
- Speaker #1
Emotions, memories, culture, heritage, values, uniqueness, things that have nothing to do with money, but with the human values. And how do you...
- Speaker #0
How do you see yourself? How do you consider yourself? You're making fabrics,
- Speaker #1
but you're making clothes. I think I'm a culture designer. A culture designer. I don't think I'm a fashion designer because I don't have anything that relates to Syria. And I see everything with a perspective. So I do everything in order to be liked. ...other than with economy or with money or something. Yeah. And how did you start? It was years,
- Speaker #0
and then I had to make a decision.
- Speaker #1
And I start from there.
- Speaker #0
Dancer. Okay. And what is the bridge?
- Speaker #1
I think it's a metaphor for a dance man.
- Speaker #0
What is dancing?
- Speaker #1
It's doing it after dance. It should not be something that is burdening you or something. Okay.
- Speaker #0
What is dancing when you make a dress or a design?
- Speaker #1
I think dancing is something that is very... there is a movement, there is a... It's very interesting because when you talk about dancing, there is nothing heavy about dancing, in any case. ...you and you have to provoke it.
- Speaker #0
What about it? Well, when you are dancing, what kind of creation you make, you understand? I was... it took me a long time to improve myself,
- Speaker #1
you know, that is after... I am a politician. For many years, you... Yeah,
- Speaker #0
yeah,
- Speaker #1
of course.
- Speaker #0
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And emotion on the fly-grass, you know? How can you explain this kind of emotion you put inside of your work? My emotion has to do with love.
- Speaker #1
The title of the video is... Yeah, and when you say that you're loving yourself,
- Speaker #0
it's a rebellion. It's defilement. You sign with that, no? Yeah. And then you create things in order to wear it. What is the statue of the fabric of the... I work with antique fabrics, very old garments.
- Speaker #1
I work with the collection.
- Speaker #0
I love the way you work with folklore. Folklore all over the world. And I was looking at your pieces and I was thinking it's magical. It takes all the folklore from all over the world and that is a way to desacralize them. Yeah. You know, to evolve them. You construct, you know, you attract, you have an in-mix with other things that have nothing to see, in order to sacralize them differently. Tell me about that. Well, listen,
- Speaker #1
if we're not going to change culture, and we need to modify the education system, Ladies and gentlemen, this is me, Nathan Fletcher. You understand that word? You think you're resacralizing or not? I think I'm resacralizing, but just giving a new life. Yeah.

What do you like with mixing things that have nothing to see together, you know?
- Speaker #1
I like that everything can be mixed.
- Speaker #0
Yes, and it's like a poetry. It is, it is. And it's a surrealism, think about it.
- Speaker #1
It's very surreal. I think I'm talented and I'm grateful to be able to be a judge, but I don't want to give my The way I do it, and I want to make sure that I'm grounded while I'm doing it. I think talent by itself is good enough. Yeah. And it's not always positive. You need to be, you know, a lot of people dream in when they come to... Yeah. The feeling you have inside of you when you create I'm very happy Tell me I'm very happy Because I think if you know that I become a creator from a I think circumstance Not only kill me My turn?
