As part of the museum’s exhibitions, the Conversations allowed us to address topics as diverse as discrimination against women, the future of our merchant cities or astrology, the increase of mega-fires, cultural perceptions of the horizon. The next Conversation proposes to share experiences of an infinite horizon with Bérénice Charriez, a skipper, and Philippe Ortoli, a film buff.
June 12, 8:30 PM The endless horizon at sea and in the cinema
Conversations: a format that invites thinkers to enrich the theme of an exhibition with a plurality of contemporary lighting. The conversation leaves plenty of room for discussion and then offers an illustrator to draw a summary. It is preceded by a tour of the exhibition following the theme. Already welcomed at the museum: Thomas Charrier, Cécile Legrand, Olivier Dauvers, Elina Bonini, Daniel Kunth, Ary Gordien, Alban Richard, Arnaud Esquerre, Jérôme Lèbre, Joëlle Zask, Yolaine Escande, Eric Marion...
