Musée National Pablo Picasso - La Guerre et la Paix
In the heart of the old town, the Pablo Picasso national Museum is the starting point for a walk that goes through the town, linking sites and places where Picasso lived and worked. Pablo Picasso (1881- 1973) moved to Vallauris in 1948 and chose the chapel of Vallauris for his monumental painting entitled “War and Peace” (1952), that illustrates Picasso’s commitment for peace.

Programme
Pascale Marthine Tayou
The objects, sculptures, installations, drawings and videos created by Tayou share a common theme: the exploration of the individual on the move around the world, questioning the notion of the global village. It is within this framework that Tayou engages in a dialogue about her African origins and the expectations attached to them. Her works transcend the role of mediators between cultures or representations of the ambivalent relationship between man and nature. They fully assert their status as social, cultural or political constructions. His work is deliberately mobile, heterogeneous and elusive in relation to pre-established patterns. It is always deeply associated with the idea of travel and encounter with others, with such spontaneity that it seems almost casual.
