Mumo arrives in Labouheyre

Tuesday 12 and Wednesday 13 November, at the initiative of the CCCHL (community of communes Cœur Haute Lande, cultural and children-youth services), the Mumo truck (Mobile Museum) stopped in front of the Labrit village hall. Many schoolchildren and college students from the Henri-Emmanuelli establishment, accompanied by their plastic arts teacher, were able to visit the exhibition “Drawing in all its states”, imagined by the Cité Internationale de la BDe et de image of Angoulême in partnership with the Regional Contemporary Art Fund (Frac) Poitou-Charentes.

Starting from comics

Inside this remarkably designed and furnished vehicle, around forty original works were presented exploring the links between comics and other forms of drawing, knowing that “drawing is the primary act of creation”, as recalled Vincent Eches, director of the City of Comics in Angoulême, who explained his favorites to the region's elected officials (1).

The exhibition of boards, drawings (ink, gouache and watercolor), collages, photos, embroidery (!), without forgetting two sculptures by Émilie Perotto (known in the Park as part of the Contemporary Art Forest) was supplemented by a video space.

A great initiative aimed at artistic diffusion in rural areas (villages of less than 3,000 inhabitants are particularly targeted) which can currently be seen in Labouheyre (all public Saturday afternoon November 16 from 2 to 6 p.m.; free ).
