About

PAINTING EXILE

Participatory mediation surrounding the Irregular Corridors exhibition

Starting from the journey through the Irregular Corridors exhibition, this mediation invites you to discover the birth of the project, the artist's approach, and the different stages of a migratory journey: the reasons for leaving, borders, the crossing, the waiting, but also the emotions and realities experienced.

Participants will then be invited to choose a word that resonates with a work, a stage of the journey, or an emotion felt: WAR – PERSECUTION – VIOLENCE – POVERTY – DEPARTURE – BORDER – CROSSING – FEAR – WAITING – SURVIVAL – EXILE – WELCOME – DIGNITY – HOPE.

Through color, drawing, form, or writing, everyone will be free to extend this reflection on a collective mural, which will become a sensitive and shared trace of how each person receives and experiences the exhibition.
