An exhibition to read, watch, listen to

La fameuse machine à lire.

La Médiathèque Victor Hugo offre un espace pour une exposition dédiée aux femmes au parcours chaotique.

À l’initiative du Mouvement du Nid 34, place est donnée aux femmes qu’accompagnent les travailleurs sociaux de la structure. Alexandra Jouhanneau une des responsables du Mouvement explique : "Throughout the year, the women supported by the Nid 34 Movement had the opportunity to write letters. The only instruction to follow is to write to women of their choice, real or imaginary. Each has captured this space with her personality and thus offers us a part of herself, like a self-portrait going from the intimate to the universal". Portrait photographer Amaury Welsch joined this initiative to produce out-of-frame portraits.

This is how a dozen photographs and letters are exhibited in the media library. These portraits of women, mostly in black and white, accompanied by these touching letters, greatly moved visitors.

Letters recorded in a "reading machine"

Aline Jarrousse, the director of the media library was of course there to ensure that this exhibition took over the premises and she even went further. "We translated the letters into French because most of them were written by women from Nigeria or Sierra Leone and we decided to record them in our reading machine so that< /i> visitors feel the emotions of the words", she describes.
