Discover a poetic contemplation at C.I.EAU!
From September 19 to November 30, 2025, the Centre d’interprétation de l’eau (C.I.EAU) will host the temporary exhibition Mouvements dans l’eau by professional artist Hélène Déry, aka Hédé. An exhibition that celebrates water in all its forms!
Through her finely crafted engravings and prints, the artist takes us on a sensitive journey into the world of water, where ripples, reflections and foam become visual poetry.
For Hédé, water isn’t just a vital resource: it’s also memory, movement, inspiration and mirror. The exhibition invites us to slow down, contemplate and feel the fluidity of our surroundings.

AquaGraphie – Engraving workshop with the artist
As part of the Journées de la culture, the C.I.EAU is offering a unique activity on Saturday September 27 from 1 to 3 p.m.
Hédé will guide participants in a participatory woodcutting demonstration. Visitors will be invited to ink a large plate, lay down the paper, then use spoons or barrens to reveal the print.
The workshop is designed as a collective experience: everyone can put their hand to the ink and discover, in a fun and accessible way, the beauty of this traditional technique.
A perfect activity for the whole family, and a great way to experience art
“in motion”!
