- the long haulComing back to the same neighborhoods year after year, rather than just passing through. Trust, and with it the quality of the stories, is built over time.
- tools in residents’ handsFilm and digital cameras, rolls of film and developing, audio recorders, video cameras, notebooks: the equipment that lets everyone make their own images.
- artists in residencePhotographers, filmmakers, illustrators, and sound recordists, paid to research and create with residents, right where they live.
- presentations that live up to the workLarge-format prints, banners, posters, installations, screenings, booklets: dignified formats, shown first where the images were made.
- archives that stay in the neighborhoodDigitization, captions, preservation, and deposit with a local partner: an accessible memory that carries on without us.
- exchanges between peripheriesTranslations, correspondence, and joint exhibitions linking Bagnolet, Montreuil, Marseille, Rio de Janeiro, Medellín, and Valle de Chalco.
what we guarantee our partners
- a written framework
Goals, participants, schedule, roles, public presentation, and a lasting record are all set out from the start, together with the local organization.
- shared follow-up and review
Regular check-ins, then a final review: what was made, attendance, qualitative feedback, next steps.
- careful documentation
Photographs of the process and of the public presentations, texts, exhibition files ready to be restaged, booklets.
- respect for people
Everyone’s consent, and decisions about how the work is shared, made together with participants.
- fair visibility
Supporters are credited on exhibitions, booklets, and the website, without ever taking the place of participants.
