Conference open to all, organized by teachers Sylvain Ebode and Merril Sinéus as part of their semester 8 project course – P807 “Scale 1 and inhabitants’ demands”.
Montreuil is changing fast. L’Autre Observatoire was born of the urgent need to document the evolution of this area. With this in mind, we have begun to photograph current and future transformations. L’Autre Observatoire aims to make a modest contribution to thinking about the consequences of development projects beyond their boundaries. That’s why we also want to include residents and their uses – we want to photograph Montreuil’s evolution simply and in our own image.
Marie-Élise Beyne is a writer and director.
Brice-Manuel Catala is an urban planner and geography lecturer at Université Paris 8.
