Strong moments, atmospheres, places... The artists' view on the Indian Ocean 2022 mission.

Strong moments, places, atmospheres... The look of the artists

The exhibition evokes strong moments, places and atmospheres that characterized the mission: the human adventure shared by all the participants, the ship, a key element and character in this story, the science carried out at full speed, day and night, the discovery of exceptional natural sites, true invitations to travel, to imagine, but also to reflect on a world faced with very real environmental issues… During the set dedicated to the artists during the day of restitution, they expressed their feelings and sensations on this dense and intense human adventure.
