Explore the colours of nature

Until September 2, 2024, discover the work of artists Hua Jin and Nadia Loria Legris in two exhibitions under the theme Couleurs passagères. Each artist uses the colours of nature in their own way to create sensitive, evocative works that are both eye-catching and thought-provoking.

In her exhibition Flow, Hua Jin poetically explores the passage of time and the rhythms and colours of nature through photos and videos that capture both the permanence and fleetingness of the natural environment. Nadia Loria Legris’s exhibition Vert pomme, jaune citron, rose sureau presents a world of vibrant colours. She uses ink made from urban plants as well as organic waste to create expressive works that explore our relationship with living things and the environment.


Uncover hidden clues with your family

An ideal activity for families, the scavenger hunt is a fun, creative way for visitors of all ages to explore the centre while they look for hidden clues in the works on display. Budding detectives will not only be able to let their imaginations run wild, but they’ll also be introduced to the world of visual arts and encouraged to tap into their curiosity and creativity. Kids will certainly have a blast and parents will discover the exhibition in a new light! Think you’ll be able to find all the hidden clues?
