This is the first exhibition of what is shaping up to be a particularly busy fall for me. I’m delighted to present, at the Cabinet Medical Etang Z’Abricot in Fort-de-France, a selection from the *Surface/Interior* series, which explores layers, openness, and what lies beneath the surface. These works are created using paper I make myself, worked with ink and through the oxidation of iron. STRATES from September 19 to November 21, 26.

A refined itinerary, orchestrated in two phases For a completely serene immersion, the group is divided in two: One begins with a guided tour of the Maison Rimbaud and its private garden, a jewel of authenticity where every room whispers history, restored with nobility and respect for the original materials.

Documentary: Volcanoes of the Caribbean (52 min) Running time: 52' The film "Volcanoes of the Caribbean" provides a detailed analysis of the May 8, 1902, eruption that destroyed the town of Saint-Pierre in Martinique and the 1995 eruptive crisis on the island of Montserrat. This film shows how, thanks to the work of Professor Alfred Lacroix, a concept was born: that of a pyroclastic flow and a Peléan eruption. If you have trouble visualizing what a pyroclastic flow is, imagining its destructive power, and understanding why nearly 30,000 people were killed in Saint-Pierre in less than 3 minutes on May 8, 1902... Come see the screening of the documentary film. (Volcanoes of the Caribbean) This film explores volcanic activity in the Lesser Antilles arc, focusing on major events in the history of each island’s volcanoes, the eruption of Mount Pelée on May 8, 1902, and that of La Soufrière on Montserrat in 1995. - In the first part, the reconstruction of the May 8, 1902, disaster is very well explained through a combination of archival footage and computer-generated imagery. The film’s value lies in the fact that it addresses various aspects—political, geographical, and geological—providing a comprehensive view of this disaster and offering historical and scientific insights. - In the second part: Volcanic activity on other Caribbean islands is discussed, with explanations focusing in particular on Montserrat’s Soufrière, Kick’m Jenny, and Guadeloupe’s Soufrière... Documentary "Earthquakes and Tsunamis" Produced by "L'esprit sorcier" Why, when, and how does the earth shake? Documentary “Inside Volcanoes” Produced by “L’esprit sorcier” How are volcanoes formed, where are they found, and should we be afraid of them? Hours of Operation Open to the public Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (last admission at 4:00 PM). Open on the following holidays: Easter Sunday, Victory Day (May 8), Ascension Thursday, Pentecost Sunday, Bastille Day (July 14), Assumption, August 15; Armistice Day, November 11.
