Visual artist Claudia Montanari and her son, with journalist Frédéric Mayet, exhibit their photos. Some from Palermo where they stayed for a week, the other from Montpellier, his city.
Since 2016, Montpellier and Palermo in Sicily have been twinned. A photographic exhibition allows you to explore these two cities with Mediterranean roots by injecting a dose of subjectivity. For the Sicilian part, there is the visual artist Claudia Montanari and her son Raphaël Grillet who explored the city in February 2023 for a week. A whirlwind stay, but some 80 photos taken around the streets, squares, and monuments and a very clear feeling for Claudia Montanari: “wherever you go, you find your origins”.
The Montpellier part is taken care of by Frédéric Mayet. Currently head of the Midi Libre agency in Millau, but for a long time editor in Montpellier, the journalist has never stopped taking photos of his city. He delivers here “a personal chronicle” from Montpellier.
