On the occasion of the European Heritage Days, the Keraouel manor opens its doors to discover the objects and curiosities from the private collection of the anthropologist Magda Metbas.
In 2015, this anthropologist embarked on a sailing trip across the Atlantic. A journey that will end on an island still unknown: the 7th continent of plastic inhabited. After two years of meeting these people, studying and analyzing their culture, she returns in 2017 to tell us this incredible story. Like the explorers of yesteryear, it makes us discover the ritual objects of this civilization, their cultural and political functioning as well as the local rites and customs. This collection of artifacts is an amazing ethnological exhibition where reality overtakes fiction. A dive into another universe that encourages us to reflect on our own vision of the world, on our society of overconsumption and on the drama of plastic pollution.
Presented by the visual artist Samba Thérie, this exhibition is for Magda Metbas, a way of speaking to us about a world that we cannot believe in, and to make real an adventure that sometimes still seems to her to be a dream, an illusion, a moment of madness.
