The Mucem has been tackling the issue of migration in the Mediterranean for several years now. While this theme has appeared from time to time in its various exhibitions, events, and installations, it has not yet been the subject of a dedicated exhibition. It is through the prism of the question of 'return', which Ulysses' journey has established since antiquity as one of the inescapable dimensions of human mobility, that the exhibition will explore this complex subject.

The 'Revenir' exhibition takes an original look at mobility throughout the Mediterranean. It approaches the subject in a non-linear and sometimes paradoxical way, but acknowledges its connectivity. The return journey lays bare the complexity of the forms of human movement between being uprooted and putting down roots, practice and imagination, national governance and subjectivation. This experience, which can be an injunction, a policy, a desire, a project, a temporary practice, or new departure, is a chance to explore the transgenerational relationship with 'home' and the memories and representations associated with it.
