Mémoire Urbaine et Collective
A group exhibition at the Orangerie du Sénat, Paris.
What does a landscape, a city, a history leave in those who pass through it?
Seven artists, painters and sculptors, each explore in their own way a single idea: not to represent a place, but what it imprints in us.
The Orangerie of the Sénat hosts this group's first exhibition in late summer 2026.
