Journées de la culture: This is an Encounter

A visit to experience and connect

For the 2026 Journées de la culture, whose theme is La culture fait du bien: notre devise depuis 30 ans (Culture does good: our motto for 30 years), come and enjoy a fascinating, deeply human exploration of Hyperrealism: This Is Not a Body.

Rather than viewing the works in silence, you are invited to cultivate self-awareness and connection with others. Explore the exhibition through the body, the senses, and emotions as you ask questions, discuss, and create together.

Schedule

This collaborative tour, led by Marina Gross-Hoy, is divided into three parts.

The first part is dedicated to grounding, observing, and slowing down. The second part involves exploration and discussion, with the discovery of hyperrealist sculptures providing the starting point for genuine encounters where you can start conversations, share impressions, and listen to each other’s feelings. The activity concludes with a moment of free creation and spontaneous writing, providing an opportunity for self-expression.

There’s no pressure to perform, and no special skills are required. It’s a space where you can express what this shared moment has inspired in you through words and shapes. This activity extends an invitation to slow down, to deepen your reflections, and to experience art through sharing and connection.

No prior experience necessary—just bring your curiosity!
