Quand l’art partage les eaux

The question of water, its quality, its preservation and its sharing constitutes the starting point of the film. The sharing of water materializes in the flow of water on either side of the slopes which then flow into the Atlantic Ocean or the Mediterranean Sea but also through the sharing of water, a more than current situation with the threat of warming linked to climate upheaval due to human activity.

The artistic trail project “Le Partage des eaux” piloted by the Monts d’Ardèche Regional Natural Park between the two departments of Haute-Loire and Ardèche is an exemplary manifesto which highlights through around ten artists’ interventions the global issues raised by the watershed.

Quand l’art abolit les frontières

The Château d’Oiron located in the Deux-Sèvres department, in Poitou, is a real paradox! Instead of protecting itself behind its walls, it is a unique place where art contributes to abolishing local, territorial or international borders, to breaking down the psychological barriers between the public and the museum, to revealing the inequalities between men and women, to build a bridge between the works of the past and the most contemporary art. It is an exceptional setting and the breeding ground for a pioneering and unique experience in France where a collection of unique works of art forges strong and lasting links with the inhabitants of the region through participatory works.
