Géopolis

Géopolis is a photojournalism and educational center created in 2017 by a small team of geopolitical enthusiasts. By combining photographic and educational exhibitions, regular events and radio programs, it aims to question current affairs. Installed at the Ateliers des Tanneurs in an original place made up of passageways, the center offers cycles of exhibitions dedicated to current or historical themes. These exhibitions present both photographic works by great artists of photojournalism but also young talents.
In addition to exhibitions, the center has developed a dense event program to decipher current events as well as a whole range of educational activities intended for the general public and in particular young people. Geopolis has also been offering radio programs broadcast on Euradio since its launch.
