Virginia Zinderstein was introduced and moderated the discussion: What
participate in a cultural event, the show living in particular, may represent a true " food, "to exchange, to open her perception of the world?
Early interventions attempt to better define the word culture has two somewhat different senses:
- Culture can be understood as all the arts, painting, music, entertainment, movies, books ...
- Culture c ' is the set of habits and rituals of a group of individuals in everyday life: his way of eating, its social codes ...
- culture: habits that carries us without necessarily aware.
Is the double meaning of the word culture or dissenting opinions have most often leads to misunderstandings?
To illustrate the second definition of the word, were mentioned the "cultural" differences between chimpanzees and bonobos communities - they have developed a way of resolving conflicts based on eroticism.
"Culture is not specific to humans, animals have a culture. "
Open questions and loose statements:
- Why go out, go to the show against new experiences, new emotions?
- Some answers have been issued: leave it thinking, develops thinking, create links, to share moments, to meet people
- Access to art is it open to all, what are the conditions for access to a work of art, a painting by example? Is it simply curiosity, the impulse toward, or a level of information and minimal training? The experience recounted

Governments have a true mission of public education including early implementation of incentive rates to encourage access to shows, and developing operations to access actually works: meetings with artists, preparing release ... culture is also a matter of political will.
- Y is there a clear boundary between art and crafts? All human works are not they cultural?
- gastronomy and handicrafts are they not also part of the domain of culture as well as the "arts"?
- Religion has encouraged artistic architectural, pictorial, musical, but it did not discourage the development of other expressions?
Then finally comes the really fundamental questions:
