We are Le Bateau, an artist duo composed of Laëtitia Delauney and Aurélia Noudelmann. Our practice focuses on reshaping maritime imaginaries, primarily through the design of hybrid boats, as sites for the emergence of floating narratives, sharing knowledge, and imagination. At the intersection of installation, film, and publishing, we explore forms of poetic parasitism and the displacement of dominant narrative frameworks. For us, our floating sculptures become a tool for visual, political, and fictional research, capable of generating collective and speculative forms and prioritizing feminist and queer initiatives during participatory projects.

Le bateau is kindly supported by Amsterdam 750 fond and the Stimulerings Funds Talent Program for 2024-2025.
Le bateau was supported previously by Amsterdam Fonds voor de Kunst, the Gerrit Rietveld Academie Student Council, and crowfunding.
Buurtwerkplaats Noorderhof is an ongoing social design project located at the Sloterplas in Amsterdam Nieuw-West. It’s at this meeting and development place that we built our boat from April to July 2021. It is a place that often organizes and welcomes associative initiatives and events.
