Here, Navarro invokes the iconic form of water towers, closely associated with the skyline of New York City, a city where immigrants from around the world gather in search of a better life. Guthrie’s 1940 song criticized the privatization of resources in the United States that he believed all should have access to, including water. Notably absent from Guthrie’s song is reference to Indigenous Nations' right to this land and critical role in protecting clean water. Ultimately, Navarro’s installation raises questions about how nations linked by colonial histories might reshape their futures.

"Mettre au monde" questions the complex interaction between creation, begetting, public and private spheres, intimacy and extimacy while questioning the tenuous balance between these worlds in the life of an artist, parent, active and independent evolving notably in the field of visual arts still too little structured in the social support of its actors. The exhibition "Mettre au monde" (Bringing into the world) was created by the curators Amélie Adamo and Lucile Hitier. It supports a selection of artists who have - at some point in their lives - dedicated their work to their family, their child, to the inhabited body, to the nurturing body or to the artistic practice of four hands.

Olfaction has become a medium of choice for a generation of artists who do not hesitate to collaborate with perfumery professionals and scientists. Indeed, olfaction offers innovative possibilities for contemporary creation. The plant elements used as raw materials in perfumery breathe poetry into ephemeral and even aerial art installations. Other artists evoke the sensuality and fluidity of perfume through creations made of glass. The technical and chemical processes of transforming raw plant materials to obtain perfume have an alchemical character for many artists who, intrigued, integrate them into the heart of their artistic approach.Laboratory glassware, stills and raw materials feed their imagination.
