Four thematics – transgression, circulation, pile-up and transcendence – govern the exhibition and allow to point out society’s stakes, throughout a medium, textile.
Among those thematics are tackled many questions, such as standards and non-standards, liberty’s research often linked to the notion of egality, identity within migrations and interbreeding, movements of humans but also of know-how, materials and designs.
