University Campus of Paris
From February 14 to March 08, 2024.
On the occasion of the exhibition of the painting « Mariupol 2022 » at the Grand Palais Ephémère, (see World Première) we had the chance to meet the Director of the University Campus (Cité U.) of Paris.
An art lover, and impressed by the power of the work, he did not hesitate to offer us an exhibition space within the Cité U.
And what a space: The main hall !
We were delighted that this work continued on and found a new audience: young people and students.
He then confided to me that he was happy, in accordance with his convictions as a convinced Democratic citizen, to have discovered this painting because he sought to exhibit within the Cité U, a masterful work on the Ukrainian tragedy so as not to forget this conflict and keep the consciences awake.
