Crac Occitanie
Located in the heart of Sète, the CRAC faces the Mediterranean harbour. The architecture of this 1,200 m2 building reflects its industrial nature : a former fish-freezing factory renovated in 1997.

Programme
Maison-Main, une assemblée des gestes #2
The exhibition explores gesture, material, and the removal of boundaries between craft and the visual arts, assembling works that take different approaches: raw or ornamental, poetic or politically engaged, flirting with the sacred or the domestic.
The exhibition offers a set of narratives suspended in works and in space, to recreate meaning by doing: assembling, embroidering, cutting, stretching, engraving, binding, casting, folding, weaving… A veritable assembly of gestures, revealing the richness of contemporary practices and their materiality.
For Kheira, Nesrine Salem
Through writing, poetry, video, performance, and installation, Nesrine Salem is developing a new exhibition for the Crac Occitanie informed by her research into mourning practices, funeral spaces, and intergenerational memories. Nesrine Salem works at the intersection of two cultures, French and Algerian, while situating her voice and writing between three languages—English, French, and Arabic—that intertwine and strengthen each other in her life and works.
The exhibition For Kheira, by Nesrine Salem follows the artist’s residency at the Villa Medici in Rome in late 2025.
