Series of "Modern and contemporary art" sound bites
Ten podcasts on ten works of modern and contemporary art recorded by students at the Microlycée de Paris.

The partners in this second series of audiodescription recordings :
In 2022, in coordination with Ce Que Mes Yeux Ont Vu (new tab), the project brought together some fifteen students from the Paris Microlycée and a dozen members of museum staff. Each of them lent their voices to the recording of sound pastilles about modern and contemporary works conserved at the museum.
Some of these works are on display, while others are in the mahJ's reserves.
A new feature of this second series of recordings is the participation of five musicians from the Musique à l'image section, Marie-Jeanne Séréro, professor at the Conservatoire national de musique et de danse de Paris (new tab), who have specially composed a musical accompaniment for each audiodescription recording, giving each work a new and sensitive scope.
