Weekend of May 24 and 25: six ideas for outings in Île-de-France
A touching exhibition on child labor in Southeast Asia in the André-Citroën Park, artists opening their doors to Père-Lachaise, a garden party in the Bois de Boulogne… Here are some ideas for outings this Saturday and Sunday.
By Valentine Rousseau and Christophe Levent
Photos of children combining school and work in Southeast Asia. Photographer Christophe Keip and journalist Antoine Besson met with 22 children, photographing them in uniforms and at work after school, and collecting their stories, narrated (via QR code) by actors from the Lucernaire play "Lumière."
The portrait diptychs are exhibited in partnership with the City of Paris and the association Les Enfants du Mékong , which sponsors some of these minors. Diane, 13, whose mother committed suicide and father is an alcoholic, escapes prostitution. At 6, Ossa carves skewers from large bamboo trees in Laos. Thien Tu, 7, sells lottery tickets with her blind father.
