Refugees across Europe
Collective exhibitions of AFP photojournalists
Since the summer of 2015, Europe is facing an unprecedented flood of migrants. Waves of refugees, mainly from Syria, Iraq, but also from the Horne of Africa, Afghanistan and Pakistan, arrive at the doors of Europe with the hope of finding a better life.
According to The United Nations more than a million of refugees have reached the European Union in 2015 and some 260.000 during the first six months of the year 2016 alone.
The AFP follows the journey of migrants through Europe from June 2015 to July 2016. The geographical localization of these images enables the visitor to follow their path across the continent.
The visitor can also browse through multimedia content, displayed as flashcodes and accessible via smartphones.
Outside in Bayeux.

Nota Roja
Acapulco, in the Guerrero province of Mexico was far from the coastal city enjoyed by American jet-setters in the 50s and 60s.
However, it was still a holiday destination of choice for many a few years ago. In proportion to the number of inhabitants, Acapulco is considered today as the most dangerous city in the country. 1.300 murders have been committed there over the past year. Five to six murders are committed each day.
Some forty gangs are fighting to take over control of the racketing and the barrios, the neighborhoods. The army and the police can barely contain the situation and an important numbers of neighborhoods are just off limit to them.
The photographs were taken by Bernandino Hernandez, an orphan, who arrived at Acapulco at the age of 3.
They shine a light on this war that dares not speak its name.
His work falls within the Mexican tradition of the Nota Roja, a literary journalistic genre highly popular at the beginning of the century whose origin is linked to the Mexican inquisition. Hernandez has documented both the transformation of his city and his own condition without ever being exposed or recognized.
The completion and singularity of his work over the last few years have yet to find a match.

WARM Foundation
Gilles Caron : photographs of war
The Gill Caron foundation presents a selection of war photographs taken by war correspondent Gilles Caron. This event is realized parallel to the inauguration of the brand new stele dedicated to reporters whose bodies have yet to be found, and Gilles Caron in particular.
30 year old journalist who went missing in Cambodia on April 5, 1970, Gilles Caron had a growing career and left behind a collection of 700 reports. Thanks to his first war report entitled “Six Jours”, his agency GAMMA, ranked in the top media agency in the world for the year 1967. In 1970, he became a prisoner in Chad; he followed the May 1968 events in France and worked all over the world following the conflicts in Prague, Biafra, Cambodia and Vietnam. 50 years later, his work has the exact same intensity. Gifted with elegance, he knew how to shape symbolic and powerful images and became a significant actor of photography.
Recruited in Algeria during his military service, Gilles Caron is soon disgusted by the atrocities of the war. After careful consideration – as revealed by his personal letters – he takes the decision to desert the army. Since then, his gaze is entirely focused of the people: population or military personnel in their daily life. Without excess or tricks, the major events he works on illustrate a large range of conflicts in the twentieth century: civil wars, blitz, hunger…. Despite the risks he faced, he testified of the violence in the world.

Gaza, the aftermath
From July 2014 to February 2016, the Belgian photojournalist Virginie Nguyen Hoang went to Gaza five times.
She was there during the Summer 2014 War and decided to return to Gaza in order to relate the reconstruction of Gaza through the daily life of four families.
The conflict between the Israeli army and forces of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad in Gaza were responsible for 2.502 Palestinian deaths and 71 for Israel, including 66 soldiers. Among the Palestinian victims, 1.583 were civilians, 521 children and 283 women (According to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs).
Since the cease-fire, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimates that 100.000 civilians have been displaced from the Gaza Strip, including 28.000 who have sought refuge in UNRWA schools that have been transformed into shelters. Others found asylum with families or friends, or they simply went back to live in the ruins of their own homes with the hope to obtain financial help.
Virginie Nguyen Hoang got involved in the daily life of four families in order to visually report their life and their fight to rediscover a peaceful life.

Rwanda : mauvais souvenir
In Rwanda, they have long been rejected. The children born from rape during the 1994 genocide.
They are no less than twenty thousand. Today, in their twenties, they learn to live with this dreadful heritage. Spicee met with Dyvine, Hillary, Arthur, Emmerance… They just became adults and still have questions regarding their origin. Only now, do they have the strength to talk about their stories, and this painful feeling of illegitimacy they face in the Rwandan society. These children called "Painful memories", are nonetheless the symbol of a great promise: the reconciliation between Hutus and Tutsis. What if they were the future of Rwanda?
Directed by Marine Courtade et Christophe Busché.

The Boat People of the Deep Blue Sea
Since February 25th, a characteristic vessel cruises off the coast of Libya: the Aquarius, a civil lifeboat.
Across its flank, bold black letters are visible from afar: SOS Méditerrannée. This is the name of the NGO who sent it. A young European NGO created in May 2015 by the Captain of the German Merchant Navy, with a sole objective: to save lives. His characteristic: his total independence from a government and the European Union.
The refugees rescued by the Aquarius are known as boat people. They fled their country, south of the Sahara, in order to flee wars or poverty. Today, as they embark on inflatable dinghy made in China, barely able to float in a swimming pool, they are focused on one thing only: saving their life.
In Libya, being black is a nightmare: death is everywhere, so are kidnappings, extortions and incarcerations in revolting living conditions. Rape, hunger, fear and shootouts are also common practices.
By rescuing the boat people, listening and taking their picture, we bear witness to their ordeal and give them a voice to be heard beyond the walls that Europe is building.

Bagdad, chronique d’une ville emmurée
Baghdad is immured in fear, unease and violence. Among the cities of this world, the Iraqi capital has suffered the highest number of terrorist attacks.
Its 8 million inhabitants have lived through the bloody end of Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship, the American occupation, and the revival of a religious war between Sunnis and Shias with the emergence of ISIS. Now all players fight for control over a territory of which Baghdad is the epicente
The film is a chronicle of the city, of Baghdadis who fear for their lives at every outing, of their despair as well as their incredible spark of humanity. Through the course of encounters with inhabitants, with religious chiefs, politicians and militants, the filmmakers, who have been working in Baghdad for years, evoke this ancient capital today at the heart of a devastating and historic civil war.

Boko Haram - Les origines du Mal
An exclusive and chilling investigation into the origins of the Islamic terrorist group and its bloody rise, fuelled by army abuses.
On April 14 2014 over 250 schoolgirls were abducted by the Boko Haram group in Chibok in northern Nigeria. This outrageous act heralded the birth in international media of an Islamic sect which had been in existence for over ten years in the region. Soon after this, its leader, Abubakar Shekau, proclaimed his allegiance to the black flag of the Islamic State organization.
The maker of a highly acclaimed documentary about the struggle of the Peshmerga Kurds against Daesh, war reporter and director, Xavier Muntz, has undertaken an investigation in the war torn region where the group came into being in 2002, to try to uncover the reasons behind its extreme violence. Hundreds of abductions, tens of thousands of murders, dozens of suicide bombings, hundreds of razed villages, not only in northern Nigeria, but also now in Cameroon, Chad, Niger...: a savagery that the Nigerian giant, despite now being supported by its neighbors, is still struggling to contain.
Through the testimonies of civilian survivors of the attacks, community leaders, local and international observers, this film tries to deciphers the dizzying ascent of what began as an Islamic sect, supported by many Muslims in the area, under the rule of its charismatic leader, Mohammed Yusuf. At first defended for electoral purposes by the regional powers, and then hounded by the authorities, the army in a fierce military crackdown summarily executed him in 2009, which far from defeating Boko Haram, heralded the start of a merciless war.
This penetrating insight into a conflict which has been as widely publicized as misunderstood, serves to expose, in addition to the atrocities of Boko Haram, the overwhelming responsibility of the Nigerian army in a bloody conflict that has caused some 32,000 civilian deaths.
