Fêter son monde

13.12

Event Free admission

la Galerie du 19M celebrates the end of the exhibition Trouver son monde by bringing together all the richness of cultural transmission through taste, gestures, and beauty.

This festive event marks the end of the exhibition by inviting visitors to celebrate creativity in all its forms: the flavours and distinctive characteristics of Southeast Asian pastries, the diversity of West African textile motifs in embroidery, and the art of the cyanotype.

The programme

Three workshops run by guest artists, from 11 a.m. to 5.30pm, designed as opportunities for discussion and collaboration around their practices:

Monichera Oum, pastry chef
Anne-Lise Agossa, designer
Émeline Ametis, visual artist

Saturday 13 December

30min Workshop

From 11 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. and from 2.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m.

During this workshop, as delicious as it is fun, the pastry chef Monichéra Oum will teach participants how to shape and mould decorative pastries. Participants will also treat their taste buds to exotic flavour combinations: pandan (a flavour typical of South-East Asia), coconut, black sesame, and vanilla.

Participants will leave with a homemade moon cake, to enjoy on the spot or to give as a gift.

30min Workshop

Embroidery on a scarf with Anne-Lise Agossa

30min Workshop

From 11 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. and from 2.30 to 5.30 p.m.

During this workshop, participants are invited to personalise a scarf made from fabric offcuts from the Maisons d’art of le19M. They will create needle embroidery on a hoop, inspired by the protective motifs carved on wooden doors from West Africa to the Arabian Peninsula.

Guided by the artist, each participant will be invited to design their own symbol, inspired by personal memories or emotions, and translate it into embroidery.

About

Portrait de Emeline Ametis - la Galerie du 19M

Emeline Amétis

Artist

Emeline Amétis is a Franco-Caribbean artist born in Villepinte (93) in 1992. She lives and works between Arles and Paris.

After spending several years working as a journalist for various Parisian publications, she enrolled at the École nationale supérieure de la photographie in Arles, graduating with honours in June 2024.

Emeline Amétis is a 2024–2026 resident at Ô Léonie and took part in the first edition of Gaze Magazine’s mentoring programme, with the support of the Maison Européenne de la Photographie.

In spring 2025, she exhibited her series peyi manman as part of the Circulation(s) festival at the CENTQUATRE-Paris.

Monichéra Oum

Head Pastry Chef

Monichéra Oum changed careers five years ago and is now the owner and head pastry chef of Nhom Coffeeshop in Pantin.

After eight years working in culinary communications, Monichéra Oum put on an apron to get her hands dirty. Since then, she has honed her skills at tastemaking establishments such as Utopie Boulangerie, Liberté Boulangerie, Union Boulangerie, Two Doors Coffeeshop, Norma Bakery, and L’Atelier P1.

Passionate about working with dough, seasonal produce, and good taste, Monichéra Oum is committed to creating desserts with the perfect balance of flavours that evolve with the seasons and according to people’s tastes. Through her pastries, her Cambodian heritage is expressed through fire, movement, words, and sharing.

Anne-Lise Agossa

Designer and architect

Anne-Lise Agossa is a designer and architect based between Abidjan and London.

Her practice is rooted in cultural storytelling and a careful exploration of materials and savoir-faire. Her work draws inspiration from the geocultural landscapes of West Africa: from the modernist architecture and cultural practices of the tropical coast to the vernacular forms of the Sahel and the central Sahara. Through these geographies, she explores the continuities and ruptures between heritage, craft practices, and modernity. She reinterprets heritage, craft traditions, and domestic rituals—living forms that span geographies and disciplines—through spatial and sensory experiences.

Trained in architecture, she develops a spatial language on multiple scales—from objects and furniture to interiors, and ultimately architecture.
