I am an animal, an original exhibition in Paris
In central Paris, on the 29th of June, at the invitation of One Voice, Jo-Anne McArthur will present her thoughts on a selection of her best portraits. On display in an exhibition open until the 28th of August, each image describes a life, tells a story, talks about an existence... And gives hope to changing points of view.

From the
29th of June to the 28th of August, the town hall in the 2nd arrondissement (district) in Paris will host Jo-Anne McArthur’s photographic exhibition, organised by One Voice.
On the
29th of June, the artist will be present for an exceptional conference, during which she will talk about her experience with each of the individuals on display.
A photo is not just a moment in time. It can also tell a story. Each of these individuals immortilised by Jo-Anne has a life, has his or her own existence. From their birth until the moment the photo is taken, they have grown, lived, had experiences, experienced emotions, and shared with others. They are an integrated part of this world. Their destiny has been shaped by the human. By saving them or condemning them, by imprisoning them or freeing them, by exploiting or showing them respect, the human has irrevocably influenced their life-path.
The moment captured by Jo-Anne is sometimes beautiful, often terrible. For the person discovering it it provokes strong emotion, a wake up call. And these lives, changed by the human, could modify the human in return. Perhaps these captured moments will help save lives, a flicker of the past painting the future…
For One Voice, working with Jo-Anne was an obvious choice. Her work captures the individuality of each being that she has come across, which One Voice is defending and wants to to be made known. They are animal people with their own experiences, and above all, the need to be protected. By organising this exhibition, One Voice hopes to touch people’s hearts, change the way they look at these sentient beings, and influence current practices.
