Martigny-Vaison-la-Romaine twins Identity in question

Le Manoir de la ville invites you to its next exhibition from March 2 to May 12, 2024.

Martigny and Vaison-la-Romaine are twin towns. What links these two towns? An official document, a desire to do things together and, above all, a Roman past.
In 1924, Vaison became Vaison-la-Romaine. It changed its name, and therefore its identity, to underline its history. 100 years later, the Manoir is dedicating an exhibition to this twinning link and to identities: Roman, contemporary, heritage, regional or individual.
Three local artists, Alain Bardet, Julie Langenegger and Sabine Zaalene, have worked from Vaison-la-Romaine to Martigny and back again. As an echo, pieces selected from the contemporary art collection of Vaison-la-Romaine's Hôtel Burrhus* made the journey to Martigny. Archives linked to the twinning illustrate what has been woven over the past 45 years. A game of mirrors and crossed views.

*With works by : Amandine Artaud, Frédéric Bouffandeau, Philippe Guérin, César Henao, David Hiepler, Ludovic Lignon, Didier Petit, Paul Raguenes, Arnaud Vasseux.
