EXHIBITIONS
•• “Red Holocene: Let’s React to the Sixth Extinction of the Decade!”
by Jasmine TAIBBE (Until Wednesday, September 6)
The disappearance of endangered species is described by many scientists as the sixth extinction or Holocene extinction.
In this exhibition, visitors will discover artworks in color and shades of red featuring endangered and extinct animals chosen from the IUCN Red List.
A unique augmented reality experience: thanks to your smartphone, the artworks will come to life before your amazed eyes!
•• “Another Look at the World” by the association Sens Solidaire (until June 24)
Classes from Nice and the Metropolis were connected with classes from developing countries (Asia, Africa, or the Amazon) to exchange on tomorrow’s environmental challenges.
During this exhibition, the works produced by students (drawings, sculptures, others…) from here and there on selected environmental themes are highlighted to offer a new perspective on the world, that of the children.
