New Centre de la Photographie Opens in Mougins, Riviera Photography Hub

In July 2021, the Centre de la photographie was launched in Mougins, a village on the French Riviera celebrated for its artistic legacy. Located in a refurbished presbytery, this center promotes contemporary photography and emerging artists. The design, created by Griesmar Architectes in collaboration with Atelier Gabrielli Architecture and Agence HA, respects the medieval surroundings. The institution is headed by artistic director François Cheval and director Yasmine Chemali. Its inaugural exhibition showcased Isabel Muñoz, followed by "L'amour toujours" (running until January 30, 2022), featuring works by Jenny Rova and Natasha Caruana that delve into themes of love and relationships. Mougins also has a photographic history associated with André Villers and displays a 2.4-meter Picasso head by Gabriël Sterk, installed in 2018.
