From five continents, spanning 8,000 years of history, with diverse functions, forms and materials, representing Man and Animal in the living world and beyond, these 60 precious creations of great refinement – among the 100 in the collection – have been meticulously selected from around the world by the best specialists, to form a harmonious work representing the diversity of the world’s cultures, brought together in a circle, a symbol of equality, fraternity and eternity.

CULTURE(S) has a dual purpose: in a world tending towards uniformity and communitarianism, it celebrates the richness of humanity’s cultures and the need for their diversity, by bringing them together without compartmentalisation; in a world attached to the monumental, it calls attention to the preciousness and grandeur of the ‘small’ and the need to protect the fragile.

CULTURE(S) is thus a plea for our societies to refocus on cultural diversity and youth, in the image of AMADE’s actions with children, whom it protects without cultural distinction.

To convey these messages, the exhibition will be travelling around the world, in particular to meet young people, so that they can build the world of tomorrow on these values.
