The second event in the "Migrations" cycle, this exhibition devoted to wax takes a closer look at this emblematic substance from Africa. The colours and patterns of these flamboyant materials have crossed both borders and decades. At a time when wax is seeing unprecedented popularity in western societies, the "Wax, between Heritage and Reappropriation" exhibition reveals the richness of a substance whose singular history is little known by the general public.
