Class photos are a true social ritual and remain one of the few printed images that today’s children still get to keep and reflect on. Alongside early writing works and creative activities, the class photo becomes a valuable record of a school journey. Often signed by classmates on the back, it is a cherished memento for some, though disliked by others.
This exhibition explores the evolution of class photos in Carouge, from the early 20th century to its end, highlighting significant changes—shifting from stiff poses to more relaxed, humorous, and playful expressions.
Guided tours, lectures and workshops will be part of this exhibition.
