nous, le petit nanterre

Ten panels: photographs, giant questions, and residents' answers, which don't all point the same way.

The answers don't all point the same way, and the exhibition keeps them together. “For me, the neighborhood's identity is how close people are here,” says one voice; “everyone is squeezed into their own home and they're afraid of mixing with others,” replies another. That is the story “nous, le petit nanterre” tells.

comment trouvez-vous ce quartier ?

“I feel really good in the neighborhood. I feel very much part of it. I was born here and I fully intend to stay. On the whole, we all get on well. Everyone is helpful and everyone is very warm.”

“The neighborhood leaves a lot to be desired. There are lots of things that aren't that good. If I could move, I'd gladly move.”

pensez-vous avoir de la chance de vivre dans ce quartier ?

“I find Petit Nanterre very pleasant. For me, the neighborhood is nice because the schools are next to the housing and we have everything close by. We know the people in the neighborhood, they're kind. I think relations between adults are good. They're sometimes harder with some young people, especially when it comes to respecting the spaces for children. There are lots of scooters in the skatepark and on the sports ground.”

“For me, the neighborhood is fine. I think I'm lucky to live here. Relations between people work well.”
