The Art Explora Festival is a traveling festival that sails the world's seas and oceans aboard its museum ship, offering innovative and free artistic and cultural experiences. From spring 2024 to autumn 2026, the festival will embark on its first tour, visiting 15 countries in the Mediterranean. To coincide with the 60th International Art Biennale, the museum ship will be anchored in Venice from April 17 to 22, at Riva Sette Martiri, just steps from the Giardiniera. Adorned with its large dock sails designed by Laure Prouvost, the museum ship resonates with "Foreigners Everywhere," the theme of this 60th Biennale, as well as with the universal message that the foundation conveys through its cultural odyssey in the Mediterranean: art transcends borders.

Lecture - Far from the Sky, Laurent Ballesta
From the icy, crystal-clear waters of Antarctica to the murky seas of the Philippines, and down into the depths off Cap Corse, where light dwindles and human presence is scarce, nature endures, endlessly shaping itself into extraordinary forms.

Performance - Hervé x MazelFreten
A self-taught artist and winner of a Victoire de la Musique, Hervé has carved out a distinctive place within the French music scene in the space of just three albums, with pop-rock compositions fuelled by electronic pulses. Alongside his own tour and thanks to Chaillot, Hervé met the MazelFreten, an exceptionally dynamic choreographic collective moving between hip-hop and electro, and revealed to the world during the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. This collaboration has proved entirely relevant – even self-evident. For him, as for them, music is a primary mode of expression, a driver of movement, a matter of rhythm. Freeing the mind and stirring the body.

DJ Set - Collective 329
On the occasion of Art Explora, the 329 collective takes over the stage this Friday, October 2, with its resident DJs, ORL and Mazout, for a DJ set navigating between Dub Techno, Mental Techno, and a more Detroit-inspired strain of Techno rooted in the Underground Resistance movement. The set creates a bridge between Le Havre and Detroit, two industrial cities shaped by the contrast between humans and machines.
