About this audio guide
This guide to the Suquet des Artistes in Cannes starts in September twenty sixteen, when a disused building on the old Suquet hill opened its doors to a very different crowd than it was built for. It touches on the old hospice, the quiet rituals of the hours after death, and the four local artists who now work inside. Best heard as you move slowly through the exhibition rooms, paying attention to their strange shapes.
