At the heart of the exhibition «Amexica: Marie Baronnet», the children tell, in their own words, the stories they invented around the photographs that touched them the most.
The project
The students chose several images from the exhibition «Amexica: Marie Baronnet», discovered during a guided tour at the Mougins Photography Centre. After a second time dedicated to a game of analysis and writing around these photographs, the children invent, with their own words, a narrative by group. Ten of them then work on the voice of their writings for a public performance at the heart of the exhibition.
The exhibition
Between 2009 and 2019, French photographer Marie Baronnet (born 1972, lives and works in Los Angeles) documents the border between Mexico and the United States, revealing a conflict that is tearing communities apart.

À propos du lieu

Centre de la photographie de Mougins

43 rue de l'Église, 06250

Alpes-Maritimes
Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

The Mougins Center of Photography is an institution dedicated to still and moving images, tasked with promoting and exhibiting the many trends in contemporary photography. Open to all forms of photographic modernity, the Center, as a municipal institution, boosts the cultural and tourism sector of the town of Mougins, seeking to enhance the region and foster international communication. It has the mission of supporting creation and experimentations by artists, both French and foreign, emerging and established. This support takes the form of production, exhibition, publishing and an artist residency.
With 330 square meters of usable space, the building’s three-level layout encompasses reception and information areas, exhibition and meeting spaces. Other locales in the village of Mougins fill supplementary functions vital to the proper running of the Center of Photography: administration, storage, artist residency, educational workshops and documentation center.
The program choices are guided solely by the principle of connection to reality through a selection of powerful and timely subjects, with respect for gender equality and proper recognition of women photographers, constantly alert and on the lookout for non-European expression. This desire, this ambition, calls for the devoted application of measures and actions to facilitate the diffusion of contemporary art.
