Le centre culturel Tjibaou -- The Tjibaou cultural centre
Ici, tout va bien! Les enfants sont en vacances maintenant jusqu'au 18 fevrier ( du coup , mes vacances à moi, sont en stand-by pour quelques temps).
Il y a quelques semaines, nous sommes partis visiter le centre culturel Tjibaou à 2 minutes de la maison. "Une architecture contemporaine inspirée de la culture kanak" est une phrase souvent entendue.
Sur un terrain de 8 hectares cédé en 1992 par la ville de Nouméa, le centre culturel Tjibaou dessiné par l’architecte Renzo Piano est inauguré le 4 mai 1998. Le Centre Culturel allie harmonieusement tradition et modernité.
We are all fine. The boys are now on their summer holiday, until the 18th february ( so my holidays, are now on stand-by for a while).
A few weeks ago we went to visit the Tjibaou cultural centre, just 2 minutes from our home. It was inaugurated in May 1998 and designed by Renzo Piano, one of the outstanding architects of the age.
It is an instrument of the Agency for Development of the Kanak Culture (ADCK), the Centre is meant to enhance the Kanak identity and culture. It is also dedicated to promote artistic creation from New Caledonia, the South Pacific region and the world.
