What are the new generations dreaming of?

The ex-voto is above all a practice, that of asking or giving thanks. Votive practice has always been part of popular and religious cultures around the world. It is materialized by different types of objects. All these objects, intended to be placed in places of worship, are the material testimonies of very ancient practices, on the border between magic and religion. Those from the Mucem collection are the starting point for the subject of this workshop as a historical and conceptual introduction.

In partnership with the Mucem, three fashion schools from three countries around the Mediterranean participate in this annual workshop.

The students collaborate in a mixed team (inter-country) to co-create samples of materials, clothing, and accessories that respond to this concept and that highlight one of the know-how of the Mediterranean basin.
