Headdresses and Us. Memories of Territory

The result of a fascinating investigation, the exhibition traces an untold story, from the mysterious origins of the headdress to the consecration around 1890 of the diaichotte, a patriotic and folkloric symbol, under the aegis of influential artists and politicians. The popular success of a burgeoning tradition will no longer be denied. From a cycling race to a young cosmetics brand, passing through the essential folk groups, the image of the diaichotte, constantly revisited, remains an undisputed symbol of the territory.
