In the fall of 2025, the Camargo Foundation organized and hostesd the first edition of "Rencontres sur l’horizon."

Organized on November 1st and 2nd, Rencontres sur l’horizon will bring together longtime residents and collaborators of the Camargo Foundation, whose work explores representations of marine ecologies. For this first edition, the Camargo Foundation has developed a program in collaboration with Lara Tabet, an artist hosted for a year at the Foundation where she developed a territorial research project (Enter Corridors).

Taking place from morning to evening, the program offered spaces for dialogue where guest speakers shared the reflections guiding their research with a wide audience in various formats: roundtable discussions, screenings, performances, readings, walks, and installations.
