MEETING WITH…

April 23 at 3:00 p.m. Coline GAULOT “Throwing yourself into the Big Fire” (adults)

From the idea to the work, passing through the creation of drawings, then molds… until a porcelain installation presented at the museum, the adventure was long and perilous. This workshop is a discovery of both the work of the artist and the ancestral process that is porcelain, offered through the experimental work of the visual artist. Step by step, the participant sees and tests the gestures and paths of this achievement.

June 18 at 4 p.m.
Philippe MEYZIE Tastes, cuisine and products from the South-West. Between rootedness and openness (18th-20th centuries)

In France, regional cuisines and so-called local products are enjoying great success today. They are surrounded by an imagination that often refers to the peasant world and an immutable past through notions such as authenticity, tradition, local know-how, etc. Through the example of the Southwest, this conference will offer a long-term historical approach to understanding how a regional food culture is shaped around emblematic products, recognized know-how and shared flavors. Far from being static, the diet of the South-West, from Périgord to the Basque Country, has undergone significant transformations according to trade, the dynamics of society and changes in the countryside. If the resources of forests, rivers, the ocean and agricultural land take a place of choice in the gastronomy of the South-West, it has also been able to feed on multiple influences that are sometimes distant. Consequently, the cuisine of the South-West also appears as a reflection of openness, exchanges and modernity.
