Alba will be showing work by the well-known ceramic artist Michèle Assaf Kamel. 27 beautifully sculpted art pieces of pottery will reflect the aspiration of a new world and the existence of wide unexplored territories that are so far and yet so close.

“Lego and the warmth of clay take us back to those days of childhood where everything was doable and we could still hope for a better world”.The exhibition called « Lego d’argile et ses blocs » will take place at the Salle polyvalente on February the 17th at 6 p.m. and will last until February the 24th.
