We had the pleasure and honour of welcoming Candice Boyd for two weeks. She is an artist-geographer with a background in clinical and community psychology. She is also Australian Research Council DECRA Fellow in the School of Geography, University of Melbourne,  Australia. Her main research interests involve creative methods,  cultures of sense and movement, therapeutic spaces, experiences of  rurality, and contemporary  museum geographies.Author Photograph of Author’s Own Artwork - Candice Boyd, 2013It was my great pleasure to spend two weeks at CRESSON.  I experienced a warm welcome and an inviting culture of thoughtful and respectful discussion.  It was fascinating to explore conceptual synergies between Francophone thinking about ambiances and Anglophone thought about  affective atmospheres during my time here. It was also a great opportunity to present my recently published works during "The déjeuner Cresson  11-09-2019" – Non-Representational Geographies of Therapeutic Art Making,  Non-Representational Theory and the Creative Arts, and Emotion and the  Contemporary Museum – and to have this work openly received.  As an artist-geographer who maintains an art practice, I was also delighted to learn about the LoSonnante and to experience this form of listening! There is much to be gained from these sorts of exchanges between disciplines and styles of thinking across different countries and even  different languages. My sincere thanks to all at CRESSON for having me.        12 09 2019, Cresson, Candice BoydTo know more about Candice www.unimelb.academia.edu/CandiceBoydHer three recents books :   Emotion and the Contemporary Museum.
