Description
At the Mining and Potash Museum, photography becomes a veritable testimony, a sensitive way of bringing to life a territory, landscapes and lives shaped by mining history. We invite you to explore these crossroads, between artistic creation and living transmission.
Enter the singular world of a photographer:
- Guided tour of the "Les puits disparus" exhibition: accompanied by artist Thomas Ermel, you'll explore the different spaces where his work is displayed. He will show you behind the scenes of his project, his technical choices and his view of the potash basin, offering an intimate, contemporary reading of an industrial heritage that has been transformed. At 6pm and 8pm, duration: 1 hour. Reservations recommended by phone or email.
Then let yourself be guided by a spontaneous mediation:
- The class, the work - a typical day in the life of a coal miner": for the duration of the evening, students become the museum's history ambassadors. Through the various stages of the tour, they tell you in their own words about the miners' daily lives: from the changing room to the descent to the bottom, from work on the site to the return to the surface. It's a lively and touching approach that gives a different view of the reality of the job. Continuous mediation from 2pm to 4pm.
An immersion both artistic and human, where images interact with today's voices to bring a whole memory to life.
