Exposition Observatoires is presented as a guided public tour led by an art historian, examining an exhibition that gathers works by contemporary artists exploring observation, perception and the politics of looking.
The presentation focuses on photographic, sculptural and installation-based projects, highlighting material processes and archival strategies. The tour situates the works within historical and personal contexts and invites reflection on how images and objects mediate attention and shape collective ways of seeing.

This solo performance by Juan Pablo Cámara traces the contours of attention and encounter. Combining subtle gestures, spoken fragments and calibrated pauses, the piece unfolds as a durational portrait that navigates memory, presence and the politics of looking. The artist’s restrained physicality and keen listening create a charged atmosphere where small actions accumulate into emotional clarity. Presented within the ‘First impressions’ residency curated by Jade Meili Barget.
Explore the lake with a specialist who guides you through the world of its fish. Observe shimmering scales, swift movements and learn about physical traits, lifestyles and each species’ role in the aquatic ecosystem.

This friendly session invites questions and shared discovery.

Designed for emerging professionals and recent graduates, this workshop explores puppetry through the creation of a short performance. Four to five young artists are supported through a guided process from idea to stage, with mentorship in direction, dramaturgy and construction. Participants develop a compact work presented at a public work-in-progress showcase. The programme also offers the chance to win a fully funded four-week training placement in 2027 at Odradek, near Toulouse.

Curator Danniel Tostes brings together works by several generations of artists to examine community as a space of connection, resistance and collective creation. The exhibition assembles photography, installation, sculpture and mixed-media projects that forge dialogues between historical and contemporary practices. Through gestures, archival fragments and collaborative processes, the show investigates memory, solidarity and the forms that communal artistic practices take across time.
Opening : Thursday 30 April, 18:00 (Salle Saint Ours)
Yaara Bou Melhem’s documentary Yurlu | Country follows Maitland Parker, a Banyjima custodian fighting to protect Yurlu, his ancestral land in Western Australia’s Pilbara from asbestos mining devastation. Shot with intimate observation and a community-centred perspective, the film bears witness to a health and environmental catastrophe and to one man’s struggle against corporate indifference as he confronts terminal illness. It blends personal testimony and landscape imagery to explore land rights, memory, and the moral urgency of environmental justice.
Followed by a talk with Adrià Budry Carbó and Agathe Le Vaslot.
