Hors les murs 15 May 2026 - 1 November 2026Address : FONDATION VILLA DATRIS 7, avenue des Quatre Otages 84800 L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue
We are delighted to announce the participation of Elisabetta Benassi and Ange Leccia to the group show Méditarranée, Odysées contemporaines at the Fondation Villa Datris in L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue from 15 May to 1 November 2026.
An inland sea, a space of passage and transmission, the Mediterranean is a vehicle of memory shaped by voyage, exchange, and composite culture. It is also marked by rupture, exile, and profound wounds. For centuries, people have looked to the Mediterranean for refuge, for a future, for dignity—often through crossings risking heartbreak and loss.
In 2026, the Fondation Villa Datris brings together 74 artists from 20 countries who engage the Mediterranean as a shared, living territory. These artworks create dialogues among migration histories, roots, traditions, and cultures, while also confronting contemporary realities: climate change, migration policies, borders, and violence. Balancing activism and poetry, the artists advocate for welcome, hospitality, and recognition of the Other. The exhibition presents stories of hope and resilience, conveyed by those who continue to believe in an open, compassionate, and deeply human Mediterranean.
Curators: Danièle Marcovici and Stéphane Baumet
