‘What’s your story?’ offers children and adolescents the opportunity to discover the importance of archives, collective memory and heritage conservation through the narration of their personal story. The participants are invited to carry out a real investigation into their family’s past in general and their migration backgrounds more in particular.

After plunging into the treasures of the CNA archives, the participants, during the various meetings with the CNA team, Séverine Peiffer and Néckel Scholtus, author photographers, will be invited to dig into their personal archives, those of their parents or grandparents, to select, to question, to create their own story, to come and inscribe it in our collective memory.

 

Project trailer (Video/Audio)

During four to five sessions, the participating kids and adolescents will be invited to carry out a real investigation into their family's past in general and their migration backgrounds more in particular, in order to build a narrative including family photographs, text, a contemporary self-portrait, a sound creation. Each of these will be presented at the heart of a dedicated exhibition. Each individual story will thus be added to the others to build a collective story.
