The signature of the biennial, the international exhibition Le Banquet, which brings together a hundred or so works of art from 10 regions of the world, has become in just a few editions a source of dialogue and exchange around the world's materials and know-how.
A tour of French overseas territories is followed by a discovery of creations from Bangladesh, Brazil, Burundi, completed by a dive into the know-how of Georgia, Ireland, Malaysia, but also of a group of South American countries (Cuba, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador and Mexico).
