Archive of childhood memories, 12 boxes and display cabinet with photos, objects and drawings realized by the children of 12 classes from Normandy, 3-weeks long workshop-residency, La Source, La Guéroulde, 2016

Organized by the French Arts Association La Source within its program « An artist and his/her medium », the Archive of childhood memories offered around 300 children to build up an archive of childhood’s memories. Made of drawings, photographs and objects, this archive was created with different techniques (charcoal, lino prints, sewing, collage…) and different papers (drawing paper, silk paper, tracing paper, manila paper…).

Gathered together in boxes, those memories consist of a delicate and sensitive archive of childhood’s memories which echo the own spectator’s memories and can be viewed as an archive of our contemporary history.

This workshop lasted 4 hours per class and was proposed to around 300 children from 12 different classes in Normandy during November and December 2016.
