After 10 years of living in Paris, Selma has returned to Tunis. Back home, her younger cousin can't figure out why she'd leave the French
capital, her aunt is overbearing, and her uncle is only giving her a matter of weeks to crash in the apartment above their house. Selma,
nonetheless, is steadfast in her resolve: she wants to open up a psychotherapy practice. So begins the first feature directed and written by
Manele Labidi, an incisive comedy about coming home, breaking taboos, and building community. As Selma tries to settle in, she's faced with
increasing complications that she couldn't have predicted. There isn't just the matter of finding interested psychotherapy patients in a
locale that's not keen on the talking cure, but she also needs to navigate a confusing bureaucratic circus in order to get the right papers
to run her practice. On top of all that, a strapping cop, Naim, is keeping a close eye on her every move.

Presented by Plug In ICA, and hosted at the Winnipeg Art Gallery in their auditorium on Tuesday, April 9, 2019, the legendary Buren will
give a public talk detailing his bold and categorical work.
Plug In ICA presents this talk as part of our STAGES Speaker Series in anticipation of the STAGES biennial in 2019. For STAGES 2019, Buren
will remount a work for the first time since 1981 titled, Limited Time Only!. This site-specific intervention was initially produced in
Toronto in a St. James Town apartment block for which Buren offered to wallpaper apartments within the building with his signature stripes.
Residents of the apartment block could have an artwork by Buren for the minimal cost of the wallpaper itself: $50 for one wall, $125 for an
entire room. Plug In ICA will work with Buren to restage this work in Winnipeg in August 2019, selecting an apartment block similar in
history and economic status to the original, offering its residents an opportunity to have a work by Buren installed in their homes for a
Limited Time Only!. The title emulates language used in advertising, but references the tenuous and precarious nature of the renter.
