Artothèque Sud exhibitions
2023
Between September 2022 and January 2023, the photographic artist KARINE GRANGER, realized a series of 40 individual and collective photographic portraits of the residents and the nursing staff of two nursing houses (EPHAD) of the city center of Nîmes: Le Quai de la Fontaine and Les Terrasses de la rue de Sauve.
This photographic exhibition reveals to the greatest number these moments of existence too often ignored to invite the public to look differently at a universe rich in stories, exchanges and life (s) quite simply.
Produced in collaboration with all the participants, it distances itself from any medical aspect to keep only the lived experience.
This meeting between the artist photographer Karine Granger, the cultural association Artothèque Sud and the Maison de Santé Protestante is a project supported by the DRAC Occitanie and the ARS Occitanie within the framework of the Culture-Handicap & Dépendance scheme.

In terms of drawing art, Emanata means symbolic signs around a character or a situation to make understand a displacement, a mood, a tone of context. These symbolic signs emanating from characters are often essential to characterize what the artist wants to transmit to us!
