Since the summer of 2022, Anne-Catherine Nesa, engraver and teacher at the fine arts workshops of the City of Paris, has engaged an artistic project from the original archives that she consulted at the Archives de Paris. Animated by questions about individual and collective memories, she chose to draw inspiration from the life paths of five women to create works on different media and using several techniques.
At the end of this residency and on the occasion of the Heritage Days, which thus become the Days of the Matrimony, the works of Anne-Catherine Nesa are presented in the windows of the Archives Hall, next to the original documents that inspired them.
Anne-Catherine Nesa will present the exhibition to the public on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 September, at 14:30 and 16:30.

Île-de-France

For more than two hundred years, the Paris Archives has collected, inventoried, preserved, communicated and highlighted documents of historical interest, concerning Paris or the former Seine department, whether they were produced by the prefecture, by the services of the City of Paris, by the decentralized services of the State or by institutions with a public service mission. Since 1990, the Paris Archives has been housed in a building specially built by the architectural firm Henri and Bruno Gaudin. It consists of 27 original document storage stores mainly related to the history of the capital, the population and the Parisian urbanism of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It also has a reading room of 60 places for the consultation of the originals and 33 places for the consultation of the microfilmed and digitized archives.
