Mediterranean Photography Exhibition at Montmajour Abbey Sounds Climate Alarm

The Abbey of Montmajour in Arles will host a photography exhibition titled 'Méditerranée - est-ce là qu'on habitait?' from July 6 to October 4, 2026, as part of the Saison Méditerranée 2026. The show explores Mediterranean landscapes, memories, and the climate crisis. The abbey, an eight-century architectural complex built on a rock in marshes, was frequently painted by Vincent van Gogh. It regularly features exhibitions during the Rencontres d'Arles, making it a key contemporary photography venue. The exhibition questions humanity's relationship with the Mediterranean territory, set within a monument that has endured centuries and storms.
