Migrations and Climate – A Unique Immersive Experience at the Palais de la Porte Dorée

A Topic of Pressing Relevance

Climate-related migrations are on the rise, causing massive human displacement while also altering natural habitats and animal movements. Yet this phenomenon often remains poorly understood, reduced to statistics or polarized discourse. This exhibition aims to go beyond these simplifications by offering a pluralistic and human-centered approach.

Through over 200 items—including photographs, videos, artworks, field reports, and scientific data—visitors are invited to explore the many facets of climate migrations. Changes in territories, adaptation strategies of communities, and ecological consequences on biodiversity are just some of the themes guiding this journey. The dialogue between artists, researchers, and field practitioners adds depth and sensitivity rarely brought together in a single space.

An Exceptional Setting for Total Immersion

The Palais de la Porte Dorée, located at 293 Avenue Daumesnil in Paris’s 12th arrondissement, provides a majestic and historic setting for this exhibition. Built in the 1930s for the Colonial Exhibition, this symbolic site now houses the National Museum of Immigration History and the Tropical Aquarium, both integrated into the exhibition path.

This unique configuration allows for a comprehensive experience at the intersection of cultures, histories, and natural environments. The exhibition occupies all areas of the Palais, including the aquarium, to better illustrate the movement of marine species facing environmental changes. Visitors can thus appreciate contemporary artworks while observing aquatic biodiversity, emphasizing the interdependence of humans and nature.

Engaged Artists Bringing Issues to Life

The exhibition highlights committed international artists who, through their creations, translate the climatic and migratory challenges of our time. Among them, Lucy + Jorge Orta, known for immersive and utopian projects, present Antarctic Village No Borders, an emblematic work questioning borders in the face of global disruption.

Other artists, such as Ghazel, Quayola, and Margaret Wertheim, offer installations and photographic works capturing the complexity of lived realities—from the lands of Senegal to the islands of the Pacific. This artistic dialogue enriches the scientific and historical dimensions, making the visit both aesthetically and intellectually engaging.

An Accessible Experience for All

Migrations and Climate is designed for a wide audience, from the curious to specialists, families to school groups. With educational concerns in mind, the team has created mediation spaces that allow younger visitors to engage with the themes through playful and interactive tools.

This inclusive approach enables everyone to tackle complex issues in an accessible and stimulating environment. Visitors can explore global challenges while reflecting on the future and fostering solidarity.
