Opening: Nouvelles Vagues

“Nouvelles Vagues” brings together ten artists from Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, France, Palestine, Iraq, and Iran at the Analix Forever gallery-bookshop. Drawing on Mediterranean origins and the idea of new artistic waves, the exhibition weaves heritage, innovation, and poetic engagement. In the spirit of the Nouvelle Vague, the artists blend the intimate and the social through gestures, bodies, landscapes, and memories, exploring the ephemeral, the search for self, and our connection to the world — with the sea as a shared horizon.

The opening will feature a reading by Marseille-based writer Guillaume Chamahian.
