A "melting pot" is a sphere where different cultural origins are mixed together in a harmonious assimilation. The term also refers, of course, to the melting pot in which a material, in this case ceramics, can be made. This theme has guided the creators in the works they are presenting in Neuchâtel and Nyon at the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023.
Artists exhibited in Nyon: Arnold Annen, Claudia von Boch, Léandre Burkhard, Violette Fassbaender, Nathalie Heid, hoi Keramik, Felix Hug, Timothée Maire, Aline Morvan, Müller -b-, François Ruegg, Heike Schildhauer and Melissa Fahrni, Eva Vogelsang.
