Accessibility and Inclusion Fortnight: "This body that escapes" exhibition by Hélène Mastrandréas

Some realities remain hidden in plain sight until photography captures their raw truth. Head over to the heart of the city to witness these powerful images that redefine our perception of vulnerability and strength.

As part of the Quinzaine de l'accessibilité et de l'inclusion, Paris Centre City Hall presents the photography exhibition Ce corps qui échappe by Hélène Mastrandréas. Displayed on the building's exterior railings, this series highlights the reality of invisible disabilities through a thoughtful visual lens. The exhibition is entirely free and accessible 24/7, remaining on view until December 27, 2026. Designed for inclusivity, the site ensures accessibility for wheelchair users, individuals with visual impairments, and those with cognitive disabilities, featuring materials specifically adapted to ensure a welcoming experience for every visitor regardless of their access requirements.

Until December 27, 2026, Paris Centre City Hall hosts Ce corps qui échappe, a photography series by Hélène Mastrandréas. This artistic project invites the public to explore the complexities of invisible disabilities. The works are installed directly on the railings outside the town hall at 2 rue Eugène Spuller, making it a fully open-air experience.

The event prioritizes accessibility as a core component of its design. By remaining open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it offers flexibility to all visitors. To support diverse needs, the exhibition includes materials in FALC (Easy to Read and Understand) format and audio descriptions. The space is fully wheelchair accessible and catered to visitors who are blind, visually impaired, or living with cognitive disabilities. An opening reception with the artist will take place on Thursday, September 17, from 19:00 to 21:00.
