Children beyond the war

In October 2023, Grégory Herpe, a French professional photographer, and his son Arthur, a video maker, went to Moldova (Chisinau and Gagaouzie) at the request of several NGOs, to make a photo report and a documentary film about Ukrainian war orphans living with Moldovan social orphans. Grégory came up with a project to teach children photography in a fun way, and with the help of amusing games, the kids became passionate about this art form, forgetting the dramas of their lives. The father and son made a documentary during their stay in the country, to show the project and let the children talk about their lives, their dreams, their future, etc. The final aim is to exhibit the children's photos with those of Gregory & Arthur, without distinction (to put the children in the limelight) and the documentary film, in different capitals (the first exhibition took place in 2024 in Paris. Brussels, Chisinau and Vienna have already been organised).
