Our whole being apprehends the physical and psychic world that surrounds and constitutes us. The past, through history, current events, works of art…, remains present. Our gaze seizes upon traces (witnesses to the questions of past generations) that resonate with the concerns of our time.

A sign of wonder or horror, this fossil matter nourishes our thoughts and actions until the next handing over of the baton to future heirs, who in turn will leave their own imprints.

The Traces vagabondes exhibition highlights this memorial mobility of humankind. The artists' appropriations and reconstructions, through the prism of their productions, inspire us. Happy or painful, they breathe new narratives that are nonetheless always still in the making.

Traces vagabondes examines our relationship with nature and challenges notions of integration in a plural society while confronting our own wounds. Invited to move through this unstable material, visitors can reconsider their position within a common and shared culture.
