what is a tabula?

The reopening of Notre-Dame-de-Paris is a unique moment. In 2019, c-album was honored to be entrusted with the creation of the cathedral's new visual identity. To celebrate it, c-album is embarking on a new cycle of “tabula” lectures. These provide an opportunity for Notre-Dame's visual identity to travel around France and abroad, in modular configurations that are constantly renewed. These performances are based on the presentation of eight thematic notebooks, presenting each of our contributions to the design of the visual identity of this singular site. In addition to these presentations, participatory workshop sheets are also being developed, enabling everyone to imagine, invent and translate what Notre-Dame might evoke.

Continuing this unifying dynamic, the tabula are open to all publics (public, private and associative partners) and all territories (in France and abroad), according to organizational methods to be invented collectively.
