The exhibition represents a significant cultural milestone for the community, showcasing the work of a contemporary artist who focuses on capturing the essence of local neighborhoods and their diverse residents.
The exhibition features 30 photographs commissioned specifically by the city of Argenteuil, demonstrating the municipality's commitment to supporting local arts and cultural initiatives.
