Mesnographies 2025

Directed and curated by Claire Pathé and Maud Guillot, with Florence Moll as this year's godmother, the Mesnographies is a free entrance outdoor festival.

Overview

The festival's mission is to open up its community and make the photographic medium accessible to rural areas through large-scale exhibitions, generally reserved for city dwellers. A window open to the world, it brings together photographers from several countries whom they invite to participate and collaborate, in order to confront our modes of thought and representation. They have been fortunate to have experienced photographers who agreed to be exhibited as well as emerging photographers. This mix reflects the diversity which they aim to have in their selection and which is very important to them as artistic directors.

The exhibiting artists in this fourth edition dedicated to The Sisterhood, are Fernanda Tafner, Alexander Kot-Zaitsaŭ, Pierre and Florent, Letizia The Fur, Hoda Afshar, Maja Daniels, Melissa Schriek, Thalia Gochez, Frederique Barraja, and Henrike Stahl.

Among the activities, a conference will take place in partnership with the MET and the Maison Jean Monnet at the Maison Jean Monnet on global warming and its consequences. Each year the event dedicates a part of the festival exhibition to ecology and the environment. They select work that focuses on these themes bringing increased awareness to the negative effects of global warming. Featured artists are M'hammed Kilito, Sandrine Elberg, Vilde Rolfsen, Guilhem Touya, David Bart and Étienne Francey.
