Toulouse. Lights on the Quay: Highlights of the weekend
Reinventing our privileges. This is the challenge launched by the Quai des Savoirs for this new edition of Lumières sur le Quai. This festival began on October 16 and will be held until November 7, around the general theme: “Taking back control of our futures”.
The weekend of October 23 and 24 will be the weekend of doing together. Where we will see the 1001 ways to reinvent our links to materials and to modes of production and consumption in a world of limited resources. Here are some highlights of the weekend:
Artistic exhibitions and installations:
Mimesis, when nature inspires technology
Photo exhibition in partnership with the Safran group and Wipplay
The exhibition, composed of diptychs, invites walkers to explore the aesthetic links between nature and technological innovation. Through the prism of the photo, the ingenuity of the mineral, plant and animal world resonates with the beauty of human inventions.
