République Opening Night

by Bérangère Fromont

Exhibition

Inauguration

The Institut pour la photographie invites you to join us on Friday, September 18, at the Théâtre du Nord for the opening of its new off-site exhibition.

This fall, the collaboration between the Théâtre du Nord and the Institute continues with Republic by Bérangère Fromont.

through this project, the photographer captures youth and resilience at Place de la République in Paris. She sheds light on a generation that navigates the intersection of history, politics, and everyday life, and illustrates the duality of a place marked by revolts and protests, but also by calm and passive resistance.

This sound piece takes Place de la République in Paris as its starting point—a space steeped in collective memory, where the apparent calm still echoes with the sounds of crowds, conflicts, and public speeches.
