Léna Babinet’s Mémoires: Preserving the Past Through Ceramics

The Mémoires exhibition, running from October 24 to November 22, 2024, at Ma. in Saint-Gilles (Belgium), celebrates the work of French ceramic artist Léna Babinet.

Known for her deep exploration of memory, Babinet uses her craft to reflect on the traces and imprints left by everyday life, past rituals, and forgotten objects. Each ceramic piece embodies durability, symbolizing the preservation of memory over time. Her creations offer viewers a meditative look at how memories are transmitted and rooted in our present.

Hosted at Ma., a new space that champions contemporary art and sustainable craftsmanship, Mémoires invites reflection on the persistence of history and its role in shaping our future.

With its focus on local artists and a commitment to creative experimentation, Ma. provides the perfect backdrop for Babinet’s contemplative works, offering a unique journey through time and art.

Address: 102 Rue de la Victoire, 1060 Saint Gilles
