Bringing together around sixty artists from twelve European countries, the exhibition explores the theme “Abattoirs” through contemporary applied arts and crafts practices.
Whether through denunciation, memory, poetry, or critical analysis, the works invite visitors to adopt a sensitive and informed perspective on these transitional places — sites of passage, abandonment, production, transformation, and today, heritage. The exhibition opens a space for reflection on what slaughterhouses reveal about our societies: our relationship to living beings, to production gestures, to trace and disappearance.

The dialogue between artworks, archival documents, and life stories creates a fully immersive experience around a theme rarely explored within the field of applied arts. The exhibition pays tribute to the power of craftsmanship as a way of thinking about the world.
