Let’s meet at the central railway station to visit together the exhibition “An Enlightening Journey: the new voices of France” photographed Juliette de Cuzey with the support of the French Cultural Institute in Helsinki and VR.
The exhibition consists of photo portraits of young immigrants who also tell their story in their own words through video interviews and short texts. These young people are students at a vocational high school in Beauvais in France and part of an emergency education program designed to quickly allow them to join the curriculums offered there.
The project goal is to fight against essentialization and discrimination by bringing to the front stage the students’ unique stories of strength, hope and resilience.
