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.
