The Villa Datris in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue presents 'Méditerranée, odyssées contemporaines' from May 15 to November 1, 2026, featuring 74 artists from 20 countries. The exhibition addresses contemporary Mediterranean issues including migration, ecology, and cultural identity. Works include Jean Denant's mirror-polished stainless steel map, Anne-Laure Wuillai's cold beach composition, and Pietro Ruffo's giant migrant portrait. Nermin Duraković's black balloons bear messages about asylum seekers. Other artists such as Goran Skofic, Daniel Dezeuze, Sarkis, Elisabetta Benassi, Abdul Rahman Katanani, Maja Bajević, Francesca Pasquali, Charles Le Hyaric, Cathryn Boch, Zoë Paul, Austin Camilleri, Laurent Perbos, Johan Creten, and Marc Nucéra contribute diverse perspectives. The foundation was established in 2011 by collectors Danièle Kapel-Marcovici and Tristan Fourtine.
