The group exhibition, which runs from 15 March – 16 April 2016, showcases the work of four photographers (Laura Boushnak, Nayla Kai Saroufim, Marcel Rached, Jack Dabaghian) whose influences are linked to the Francophonie, because of their origins or of their careers that have led them to live and work in France. Because their scope of work is radically different from one another, they celebrate and show the same Francophonie as the one t hat Alliance française and its partners for the Festival de la Francophonie 2016 are promoting: a culture that is plural, aware of and adapting to its environment, and that calls on universal values even if geographically embedded in different countries around the world.
