From invisible to visible: Undestanding who am I

Project title

De l'invisible au visible: Comprends qui je suis

Description of initiative

APF Handicap France was organizing in 2018 an exhibition part of their Beauty and Handicap project on the invisible people with disabilities in order to raise awareness for the general public on this issue and the unseen difficulties. Multiple sclerosis, genetic diseases, hyperactivity or anorexia are some of these so-called invisible diseases highlighted by these photos. The exhibition is part of a series of yearly exhibitions organized by the organisation on different themes at the intersection between arts and health. More than 10 different exhibitions have been done in France since 2009.
