French Polynesia participates for the first time in the Banquet. The Polynesian delegation, supported by the Ministry of Culture and Handicrafts, presents 4 fine art craftsmen specialized in mother-of-pearl, wood and weaving. They propose representative works of contemporary Polynesian craft creation, as well as a common work that will allow them to combine their pratice. The artists’ work focuses on materials, but also on polynesian symbols, with the ambition of representing the cultural diversity of French Polynesia, but also its fragility.
