At Camargo, Marion Slitine has written part of her thesis on the dynamics of Palestinian contemporary art, and developed the argument that we should re-conceive the ties between art and politics — always closely interlocked in the Palestinian case — while simultaneously including them in the globalized art market realities. Her residency has also been the occasion to coordinate Gaza inédite , an international scientific and cultural 4-day event which took place in both Paris and Marseille (at the Mucem, the Institut du Monde arabe, the Institut des Cultures d'Islam, and the Bibliothèque Universitaire des Langues et Civilisations) and gathered scholars, journalists, diplomats, artists, humanitarian professionals, politicians and politically engaged citizens. This event allowed for a better understanding of the most recent works in the Gaza Strip and gave account of the artistic and civil vitality of the region. Marion also gave a conference at the École supérieure d’art of Aix-en-Provence titled Ce que l’art peut à Gaza, with the Gaza artist Salman Nawati.
