The Alphabet of Patrick Moya
The Abécédaire of Moya is the universe of Moya expressed in 26 letters, featuring his “Land of Moya” in a playful and mischievous form.
After a first Abécédaire created in 2003 as part of the fight against illiteracy, which toured all the French Alliances in Italy and was sold in Korea, a new Abécédaire was born in 2007.
Presented for the first time on the Foster wall of the Carré d’art in Nîmes, it became the subject of a small book that now accompanies it: each letter corresponds to 26 short texts, each one a light to tell the journey of an artist who refuses to be confined.

Without Ceremony
As a maritime and border town, Antibes has long needed to defend itself, and much of its heritage is directly inherited from this context. The Saracen towers, the old Grimaldi castle, Fort Carré, the Saint-Jaume bastion walls up to the Saint-André bastion, are all markers of our urban planning shaped by a violent reality—fear of attacks, looting, bombings, in a word: war.
But what is war? The programming of Fort Carré this year offers perspectives, reflections on commitment, the duty of memory, and the traumas it generates: themed tours, workshops, museum cafés to discuss, a film-tour around Roberto Rossellini’s Paisà, and a theatrical walk in collaboration with the Antibes Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Art.

Joan Miró: Masterpieces from the Nahmad Collection
From June 30th to January 12th
The Picasso Museum offers a unique experience: showcasing twelve masterful works by Joan Miró, from one of the world’s most important private collections, the Nahmad collection.
Miró is at home here, like a guest in the house of his friend. The friendship between the two artists, which began in Paris in 1920, was a catalyst for their creative passion. The rooms host one or two pieces at a time. Unlike traditional exhibitions that gather and associate works, this one focuses on the singularity of each piece, inviting contemplation and interpretation.

“CHATTERIES” (Cat Hugs)
The Postcard Museum presents a temporary exhibition of vintage postcards featuring cats.
Domestic animals have often been used to illustrate postcards, and cats are among the most frequent subjects.
Photographers and illustrators have provided numerous images, from large cats lounging on comfortable cushions to playful kittens.
These illustrations are found on postcards and wall calendars distributed by postmen. These naturalistic scenes have a calming effect on viewers, providing a sense of comfort.
