Photographic perspectives on everyday life

Exhibitions, workshops, events

In the first exhibition program of Institut pour la photographie of Lille, we can discover many photographic exhibitions, workshops and events in the every day life photography topic.

Never before have we used photography so much to share our everyday lives. From family portraits to street photography, postcards to digital applications, this first programme reveals how photographers, artists, amateurs and entrepreneurs have continually appropriated the medium to record, question and even glorify the banality of everyday life from the 19th century to the present day.

This free event, with its seven original exhibitions, is, above all, an opportunity to share a preview of the Institut pour la photographie’s project with you. The library, workshops, publishing exhibition, portfolios and evening openings will be opportunities to invite all audiences to discuss and experiment with photography, all of which we hope will be “extraORDINARY” moments!
