Laetitia Sadier

In the organizer's words:

Throughout her career spanning over three decades, Laetitia Sadier has never shied away from the tough issues or stopped advocating for the possibility of self-determination and emancipation in the face of conscious or unconscious forces. This is an essential part of the foundation she has builttogether with Stereolab, in which she presents her spiritual, scientific and socio-political research. She has continued this process under her own name as a writer, singer and musician, with each album being an account of her journey of self through time, space and the collective.

Whether she draws inspiration from Zen shiatsu training or the lyrics of Véronique Vincent (lyricist and singer of Aksak Maboul and one-time lead singer of the Honeymoon Killers), Laetitia confronts the truth without flinching. The shadows, whatever they are made of - individual and collective, present and ancient - must be recognized and acknowledged, because the more we heal within ourselves, the more undivided we become in the face of the looming neo-fascist/neo-liberal narratives polluting the inner and outer landscapes. Like the cover image of the winter tree reflected in the word patterns of Rooting For Love, Laetitia asserts that how we heal the world to come, and what we make of it, will be a co-creation. The quality of our imagination, the direction we give our thoughts, and the ability to bring love to ourselves and the world is a first step. Alongside her collaboration with Modern Cosmology, last year's incredible What Will You Grow Now? and her continued touring with the newly formed Stereolab, Laetitia is back in the world with Rooting For Love, calling us once again to remember our inner alignment and heart power to be better equipped for what's to come.
