At Espace Kenere in Pontivy, Sur la route de Cléden-Poher brings together photography, portraiture and Breton dress history. The exhibition presents 60 portraits connected to the period from 1850 to 1950 and looks at traditional costume across the nine historic Breton regions. The opening programme gives the display a living cultural frame: artist Lévénès de Cléden is announced alongside Kerlenn Pondi dancers, with a guided visit and a talk by Bertrand Thollas on Breton costume. The event is therefore more than a visual archive; it links images, clothing, local transmission and the contemporary groups still keeping those forms visible.
