Nuit Blanche, special night at the Shoah Memorial news

Saturday, June 1st, 2024 at 7:00 PM Sunday, June 2nd, 2024 at 2:00 AM

After the tribute to Christian Boltanski, in 2022 ("Looks. Spirits") – first exhibition realized in homage to the artist who had recently disappeared-, Melik Ohanian in 2023, with "Remember, it was tomorrow" – his three works evoking the genocide of the Armenians brought together for the first time-, this Nuit Blanche 2024 will take place under the sign of transversality and proliferation, a way to respond to the danger of radicalism through the plurality of worlds, stories, struggles, memories, emotions.

That evening at the Shoah Memorial, we will think of the victims of the Holocaust, but also of the Tutsi, the exiles of yesterday and today, from Rwanda to Poland, from Paris to Kigali via Lublin, from Birkenau to Natzwiler. 

An evening with multiple entries, allowing the visitor to stroll through the Memorial and discover several works by prominent artists of the contemporary scene, around two axes: video and performance.

That all those who made this exceptional evening possible be thanked.
