Around 
Françoise Huguier

photo project around the exhibition "Au doigt et à l'oeil!" on Françoise Huguier in Romainville - From February 9 to March 31, 2024

Françoise Huguier, an internationally-renowned photographer from Romainville and a keen traveller, never stops exploring and discovering people and their lifestyles. To extend these encounters, she photographs the Other in their familiar surroundings. In these travel diaries, portraits are combined with landscapes and still lifes. Sometimes the portraits form a series in their own right.

​

 

One of the aims of the project was to enable the children to take a fresh look at their environment, their neighbourhood, through a visit to the ‘Au doigt et à l'œil’ exhibition at Place de la Laïcité in Romainville and artistic experimentation around three themes, one for each neighbourhood: architecture, the body and movement, and the portrait, which enables them to pay particular attention to others.

​

 

To bring the project to a close, a convivial event was organised with all three neighbourhoods to present the photographic exhibition organised by the city of Romainville on the work of the artist Françoise Huguier, in the presence of the artist herself.

afterschool

workshops within the framework of the educational project
of the territory of the city of Romainville

Until June 2021, as part of its Projet Éducatif de Territoire (Local Educational Project), the City of Romainville, through the NAPs, mobilised more than 200 contributors each week to offer free, high-quality extracurricular activities to all schoolchildren in the municipality. In line with the objectives set out in the Projet Éducatif de Territoire (local education plan), the aim of our activities in the elementary NAPs was to offer children free cultural activities, artistic practice and image education, at the heart of the cultural and citizenship pathway for pupils from CP to CM2. Groups were formed by class level for the whole school year. The themes and practices covered changed after each school holiday period.

monthly workshops

one workshop per month carried out within
the association for members

Because images are omnipresent in our daily lives, it's important to take the time to look at them with curiosity and care, to understand them and appreciate their uses. Learning to look at, describe and analyse a work of art, then experimenting with different techniques through artistic practice, while learning about the creative process: these workshops are a time for meeting, exchanging and sharing, where children are given the opportunity to have their say. They are also an opportunity to offer them tools to help awaken and train their visual and creative skills, fostering links between knowledge and sensitivity.

micro-conferences

Supervised by professionals in the field of cultural mediation and guide-lecturers, the aim of the micro-conferences is to facilitate the discovery and knowledge of the history of art and contemporary creation for audiences who are not familiar with it.

Presented in the form of video projections, the sessions last between 20 and 40 minutes.
Each micro-conference is based on a cross-disciplinary theme, combining art and other disciplines.

Aimed at schools, social centres and old people's homes, they help to awaken and train participants' eyes.
