This year, Ondulation is coming back to enliven the Joliette landscape with a series of large-format digital projections. Presented in collaboration with Art Partage and the Musée d’art de Joliette, the project transforms emblematic sites in the area, including Amphithéâtre Fernand-Lindsay de la Place des Arts in Joliette.
