In the summer of 2022, Jules Ramage sets up a working group at Fleury-Mérogis prison:
women prisoners, queer researchers and artists are invited to collaborate for 2 months. Marked by the over-medication to which they are subjected, the participants wish to explore alternative care techniques circulating within the walls: self-sex as
a pain killer, witchcraft, courage songs... Care cards are developed from this
research ; until today, those tools circulate inside the walls.

This project is the continuation of _51_.
Once the cards developed, the working group addresses the circulation of its stories outside the walls. Gauche volunteers as spokesperson: she is thus invited, at the end of her sentence, to perform in front of the camera. She re-interprets the diary she wrote daily in her cell, the texts collectively written in the workshop, the administrative documents that governed her days, testifying for the gender-based violence of French prisons.

This project is co-constructed with the SEE: a group of men detained in Poissy prison, formed in 2015 as a research-action collective at the invitation of Jules Ramage. It takes as its starting point the ban on all transactions in prison spaces. In response, the collective committed to the establishment of a monetary production network inside the walls. They developed a currency of esteem marking debts of honor, made of melted sugar: the choice of material refers to pharmaceuticals, used inside the walls as alternative currencies.

As the covid-19 crisis explodes, the first lockdown put an end to the fieldwork. As prisons were, more than any place, shut down and the communication cut with his detained collaborators, Julie Ramage decided to create a “ghost film” from the preparatory documents of the project: a radio performance including two days of readings and public talks about the links between bio-power,
surveillance techniques, gender violence and public health disaster.

Waiting for the Barbarians documents the expansion of the cities of Fleury and Bondoufle, near Paris. The investigation combines the perspectives of archaeologists, developers, inhabitants and different users, uncovering the violent conflict caused by the construction project: farmers expropriation, long-term legal battles, attacks on archaeologists on the research/construction site...
