To mark the 40th anniversary of the student
uprising, FIAF presents an extraordinary
recapitulation of the events of May 1968,
as recounted by American, Martha Carroll,
who lived only steps away from
the Sorbonne. Demonstrations by angry
students and workers against the
de Gaulle government erupted all around
France, but their center was the Latin
Quarter. With both text and photographs,
Carroll documented these events. Her
images are accompanied by a newlywritten
narrative communicating the artist’s
experience of finding herself surrounded
by a set of unprecedented social and
political confrontations that changed
French culture. |
