Curator and theme

Internationale Curator
Alexia Fabre

Assistant Curator
Anne-Sophie Blanchet

Theme
Joy is a transient emotion, but one permeated with a zest for living. Being joyous means, in a way, shaking off our individual and collective concerns. Being joyous asserts our right to experience wonder and to achieve aspirations which, whether real or imaginary, give profound meaning to our lives. Expressing joy means defying the limits of time and sharing the emotion in all its strength, fragility, innocence, poetry, and art.
