PhotoSaintGermain-Exposition collective FAMU / Jindřich Štreit

Jindřich Štreit and group exhibition of FAMU students

Jindřich Štreit, Humanity

The inhabitants of marginalised regions undergoing profound change, in Bohemia and France in the 1990s, documented with tenderness, empathy and humility by the great Czech photographer, a self-taught artist who turns 80 in 2026. The exhibition presents previously unseen silver gelatin prints, carefully selected for this occasion from the author's monumental archives by curators Štěpánka Stein and Emmanuelle de l'Ecotais.

FAMU, Y a pas photo !

The FAMU exhibition, devoted to dialogue between generations, highlights half a century of image training at the prestigious Prague Academy of Film, from which great European filmmakers such as Agnieszka Holland, Věra Chytilová and Miloš Forman emerged.

Photography also occupies an essential and particularly dynamic place. Through a selection curated by Noemi Purkrabkova, the exhibition offers a dive into the evolution of photography's relationship with reality, as well as its capacity to create visual references that shape our perception of the contemporary world.

This exhibition takes place as part of the PhotoSaintGermain festival. Held in the heart of Paris, in the iconic Saint‐Germain‐des‐Prés district, PhotoSaintGermain is an annual festival dedicated to promoting photographic creation.

PhotoSaintGermain offers a free, open-access trail of exhibitions across a selection of museums, cultural centres, galleries and bookshops on the Left Bank. This trail showcases a sharp and eclectic programme devised by the associated galleries, as well as several original exhibitions and new projects conceived and produced by the festival.
