Enter a vibrant universe where fabrics tell stories. Conceived by HEAR in collaboration with anthropologist Anne Grosfilley, and co-produced with Mulhouse's Museum of Printed Fabrics, this exhibition invites you to rediscover wax, a fabric with multiple origins - Asian, European and African - that has become a symbol of elegance, identity and expression.
In Mulhouse, where know-how and cultures are woven together, young designers trained in Alsace are taking over a global textile heritage. The exhibition thus becomes a bridge between tradition and creation, between the memory of fabrics and contemporary imagination.
From rare collections to daring works, we invite you on an unexpected journey - from workshops to colorful markets, from rituals to demands, from Ghana to Alsace. Here, wax is revealed in all its richness, far from stereotypes, as a veritable "fabric of elegance", the bearer of stories and encounters.
*Akwaaba wo Ghana means Welcome to Ghana.
Adult: €10 / Reduced: €5 / Senior: €8 / Youth (12-17): €2.50 / Family: €22 (2 adults + max 3 children aged 12-17) / Free for children under 11
