Wednesday, December 15, 2026,
18:30
Echoing the exhibition of Jessy Razafimandimby, who
invites us to rethink the relationships between humans and animals within a reinvented domestic universe, this meeting-discussion questions the place of Man’s best friend, the dog, in art, in our homes and in our daily lives.
It also proposes to explore the representations and practices that shape this millennial companionship and invites reflection on what this privileged link reveals about our societies and how we inhabit the world with other species.
