When sea turtles invite the whales

Kelonia, along with the association Globice,
is inviting you to discover the humpback whales
of Reunion Island. Large size visuals and accoustic
animations will make you "dive" into the universe
of these fascinating and mysterious animals.

Between waves and seashore

Ka.Ty Deslandes is an artist, who shows several of her paintings realised during many trips through the Pacific and Indian Ocean. These places are sources of inspiration, where she finds the material for her painting (coral, wood, sand, coconuts, pieces of sheet iron, cords, hessian). This exposition aims at increasing public awareness on art and environmental issues. It is also the opportunity to arouse thoughts on the beauty of the landscape that surrounds us, and the need to create and consume in a sustainable manner in order to preserve.

Several activities will be proposed to the public around this exhibition:

Broadcast of two movies, one on the artist's universe: “Mtsanga Baharini”, Mayotte, realised by Serge Prouteau, and the other on Europa marine turtles, “The mysterious mangal” realised by the multimedia centre of the University of Reunion.

Wednesday 9th April from 2.30 pm to 4pm
A guided tour for kids (limited to 15 kids with parental supervision).

Wednesday 16th April from 6.30pm
"The song of the sea", artists' performance: voice Martine Rahyr, dance Evelyne Lucas, instruments Armand Clotagatilde. Limited places.

With Ilo and Kelo characters created by the Kelonia team, come and discover the steps in the conception of the cartoon presented by Kelonia in the intention of explaining durable development to the young and old alike! You will be introduced to other characters of the cartoon as well, and those that will be accompanying our heroes on their next adventures.

Every Wednesday the cartoon will be projected on the wide-screen in the video room at Kelonia.

Sea floors of Réunion
