Jasmine Baume<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Byron Gago<\/strong><\/a>‘s project was born from the desire to explore their respective backgrounds and experiences, as well as their shared interest in environmental issues.<\/p>\n At the end of their residency at the Fondation Thalie, they had the opportunity to conduct street interviews, visit the European Parliament, and get in contact with climate activists as well as participate in climate-related manifestations.
