Rendez-vous de l'Image

Les Rendez-vous de l'Image: Understanding and Supporting Visual Practices

The Rendez-vous de l'Image is an annual event organized in the spring by the Maison de l'Image de Grenoble, a pioneering association in visual education established in the Villeneuve district since 1972. This professional day is aimed at educators, cultural professionals, social workers, and youth workers who wish to better understand contemporary visual practices.

A Rich Program of Conferences and Workshops

Each edition offers a dense program centered around a current theme related to images:

• Conferences led by researchers, artists, and image professionals
• Round tables to cross-reference perspectives and experiences
• Practical workshops to discover tools and methods for visual education
• Feedback on experiences from projects carried out in the field

The exchanges and partnerships born from these meetings feed into actions adapted to technological evolutions and the digital uses of young audiences.
