exhibits

curating shared sacred sites

Based on research on shared sacred spaces, these shows combine a large register of artworks, ethnographic objects, videos, and photographs. Initially created at the Mucem in Marseille (2015), the Shared Sacred Sites exhibits have traveled in several countries. We emphasize the project’s modularity to adapt it to the country and the collections of the host museum. Each version is different, offering new contents and new experiences.
