AUBUSSON 2026 – EXHIBITION

Sabine Cibert at the International Textile Biennial – Aubusson, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France – July 1, 2026, to January 3, 2027

The Cité internationale de la tapisserie in Aubusson will host Jean Lurçat’s monumental cycle *Le Chant du Monde* (The Song of the World) (1957–1966), a work held for nearly sixty years by the Musée Jean-Lurçat et de la Tapisserie contemporaine in Angers.

A true artistic testament by Jean Lurçat, *Le Chant du Monde* is both a universal fresco and a hymn to life.

As part of this exceptional exhibition, artist Sabine Cibert will display the work *Aube 281* in the Cité’s “Nef des Tentures” (Tapestry Nave); her own textile practice traces its origins to a visit she made to see Lurçat’s *Le Chant du Monde* at the Château d’Annecy in 1963.
