Open exhibition and publication on issues related to the idea of mixing that lead almost without transition, to an exploration of memory.

They could be defined as the expression of a human creation that arose at the confluence of the Worlds and European companies in Asia, Africa and America. They are at the heart of a story that is played worldwide since the fifteenth century to the present.
