At the intersection of art, science, ethnobotany and postcolonial studies, LES VOYAGEUSES is a transdisciplinary project unfolding as an archipelagic constellation of exhibitions, conferences, artist residencies, performances, and other public programmes.

Through a sensitive exploration of place, Benoit Billotte investigates the connections between geography, botany, urbanism, and culture. A lecture on how everyday elements can reveal new ways of perceiving and understanding a territory.

Through the khoustka, the traditional Ukrainian shawl, Eugenia Reznik and Alex Reznik weave together music, stories, and gestures. A poetic performance exploring memory, transmission, and identity.

Through drawing, ceramics, printmaking, knitting, and writing, Sarah Battaglia explores the connections between living beings and matter. A lecture on transformation, the traces of the wild, and the fragile boundaries between life and disappearance.

At a time when mobility is reshaping territories and identities, this exhibition brings together 24 artists to explore the movements of plants and people. Through ecology, colonial history, science, and art, it examines notions of rootedness, exile, transmission, and the interdependencies that connect all living beings.

Bringing together artists, researchers, botanists, anthropologists, and heritage specialists, this study day explores plant migrations and their social, historical, and ecological resonances. A meeting point between contemporary art, science, and the living world.

Between Fabric and Plant explores the connections between memory, migration, and textile materiality. Drawing on linen fabrics made in Ukraine by her family over a century ago, Eugenia Reznik reveals how matter retains traces of the plant, history, and displacement.

Photography, ecology, and postcolonial narratives converge in Juliette Suchel’s work. This lecture explores the relationships between plants, territory, and image, where vegetation becomes an active collaborator in the photographic process.
