Tell a Friend

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.
