In spring 2021, mOst held its first residency at the Guy Toffoletti community center, in the heart of La Noue. In May and June, the children walked their neighborhood with film cameras, shot video and drew maps: photography, video and mapping to show a part of their reality.
Each child chose their photos and gave them a title and a few words: building 6 and block 4, Jean Lolive park, the Maison du parc, the Guilands stadium, the little field, the water fountain, the clouds. The prints came together in the exhibition “Le quartier de chez Noue” (a pun on “our neighborhood”), with QR codes leading to a video in which the children introduce themselves, to the life story of a resident and to their memories.

le quartier de chez noue, wall by wall
Twelve children, twelve ways of seeing: the photographs each of them chose, with their own titles and words, as they were shown in the exhibition.
