FAMILY PORTRAITS
16 June - 24 September 2012

Invented and deformed words, interpretations and mistakes in pronunciation that end up by becoming part of the vocabulary of the family, form its language and serve as reference points. This is the programme awaiting you this summer in the Galerie des Enfants. The artist Valérie Mréjen gives children an opportunity to speak, to search for these words in families, to define them and to write their stories. Children create a unique glossary and original gallery of pictures. Two sound and visual recording booths are available for their testimonies. And in this way, children open the pages of their family album.
