We had a full immersion in the reality of Les Frigos in Paris, with visits presentation and art phography workshop. How has migration evolved? What has changed since the last century? What are the main patterns today? How many people live outside their country of birth? How can we understand the often complex data? A dynamic exhibition design and a host of interactive features introduced ud to some of the concepts associated with this subject. The testimonies of people who have migrated reveal a broad range of profiles, causes and trajectories. Through objects steeped in personal history and works of art, most of them created by migrant artists, we discovered a range of unique perspectives on this particular life experience.
Movement is an integral part of our heritage as a human species, and the exhibition took us back in time to discover prehistoric migration and gene flow.
