Photo objective: Paris clicks on its kids

This creative photographic project is presented by 1500 children from Parisian elementary schools and learning centres, accompanied by artist- photographers from Maison du Geste et de l’Image and the Maison Européenne de la Photographie, as well as learning-centre teams and plastic arts teachers from throughout the city of Paris.
Following their route, which tracks the natural progression of the streets of Paris, they enrich their own view, somewhere between reality and the poetic imagination, of the capital’s daily life. Through it, and through their images, they discover a specific vocabulary of the plastic.
This project, conceived by the Directorate of School Activities of the city of Paris, is part of Art for Growth, an initiative by the city of Paris aimed at improving access for all the city’s children to culture; its institutions, and its facilities for education in the arts.
