The Centre culturel Jean Cocteau and the Lycée Polyvalent Paul Robert des Lilas have teamed up on a collective exhibition curated by the students of two classes of seconde and curator and mediator Thomas Maestro. Over the course of the school year, they will work together to design the third and final exhibition in the Cultural Center’s Grande saison. This season examines what it means to “grow up” at every stage of life, between promises, injunctions, normativity and attempts to control one’s destiny. Borrowing works from the Frac Île-de-France collection and working on a co-creation project with artist Louise Hallou, the many curators of this exhibition take on the role of minstrels of the present. Together, they navigate through the issues that have troubled successive generations through the ages: how to construct oneself as an individual in the face of one’s own expectations and those of others? Between the desire to break down frameworks, to transform oneself, to question knowledge and to work together, the curators propose that the exhibition be the site of the emergence of a great common allegory.
