FORÊT FOLKLORIQUE

Art exhibition by Hariko

What does nature tell us, what do the forests tell us, what do humans tell us? In every corner of the world, in every culture, folk tales and stories flourish. The ancient castle of Pettingen is no exception; within its walls, echoes of bygone tales and lingering rumors continue to captivate our senses. Based on this idea, five artists from the Hariko Ettelbrück collective have come together to weave new stories. Coming from very different backgrounds, each artist brings their own folk tales, which will intertwine and grow together with the others. Just like the Beans from the tale Jack and the Beanstalk, this collaboration aims to plant adventures, and above all, create a magical experience.
