Holding water a little longer
Exhibition opening

Across the Alps, water is changing rhythm: glaciers are retreating, snowfall is becoming increasingly uncertain and rainfall more unpredictable. Staying close to what is disappearing, the artists gather the traces of landscapes in transition and record their fleeting, often imperceptible states.

How does the water cycle work? In connection with the exhibition Holding water, a little longer and as part of the Fête de la science, Eau'Dyssée association presents a playful workshop to understand the water cycle and the impacts of human activities on this essential resource.

Water belongs to everyone but who decides how it is managed? In connection with the exhibition Holding water, a little longer, Eau'Dyssée presents, as part of the Fête de la science, a collaborative workshop exploring how water governance works.

In this workshop, the artist Myrtille Bouvret invites you to try out an approach to observation and collection inspired by her creative process. A sensory exploration of the local area to reveal the discreet traces left by water, time and the changing landscape.

The artist Myrtille Bouvret and the researcher-glaciologist Jean-Baptiste Bosson bring together artistic and scientific perspectives. A conversation exploring their field practices and the ways art and science document and make visible the ongoing transformations of Alpine landscapes.

As part of the exhibition Holding water, a little longer, writer and screenwriter Charlotte Pons leads a creative writing workshop where participants draw on the artworks to explore imaginaries of water, the senses, and the natural world.
