Exhibition LES VOYAGEUSES

Les Voyageuses – Group exhibition

From 9 November to 11 December 2026, the University of Grenoble campus will host The Travellers, a group exhibition presented across several venues: La MaCI, the Joseph Fourier University Library, the Law and Humanities University Library, and the Medicine and Pharmacy University Library. Opening reception: Monday, 9 November, 5:00 pm.

Bringing together works by Artistes : Sarah Battaglia, Benoit Billotte, Awena Cozannet, Jean-Michel Demard, Rachel Doolin, Katerina Gribkoff, Vir Andres Hera, Ingela Ihrman, Hélène Jospe, Kapwani Kiwanga, Lucile Lefrang, Grace Nitoumbi, Antoine Perez, Tom Pham Van Suu, Amanda Préval, Christine Rebet, Eugenia Reznik, Stéphane Rossi, Noémie Sauve, Momoko Seto, Juliette Suchel, Société POTOP, Sarah Vandermeer, Yto Barrada (sous réserve), the exhibition explores the connections between human migration and plant mobility.

Through interdisciplinary practices spanning installation, video, photography, sculpture, documentary, and research-based work, the artists examine notions of rootedness, belonging, exile, and transmission. Often perceived as immobile, plants emerge here as witnesses to multiple trajectories shaped by biological exchanges, colonial histories, human displacement, and ecological transformations.

Spread across several locations on campus, Les voyageuses creates a dialogue between contemporary art, sociology, botany, anthropology, and ecology. The exhibition invites visitors to consider movement as a relational process that shapes landscapes, cultures, and imaginaries, while revealing the interdependencies linking living beings, territories, and the temporalities of the living world.
