Au départ de Binche, l'exposition « Entrelacs » vous invite au voyage au fil de l'histoire du textile, au coeur de sa fabrication et de ses rituels à travers le monde.
Textile et rites masqués
Dans les pratiques masquées, le textile est partout. Il est :
- la surface sur laquelle sont appliqués des ornements, des amulette, ou des charmes
- l’interface pour dialoguer avec un monde parallèle, celui des esprits ou des ancêtres
- créateur de mouvement, auxiliaire indispensable aux techniques du corps.
Une occasion immanquable de découvrir les rites carnavalesques dans le monde sous l'angle du textile !
