About
“Occupying Paris: 1968 and the Spaces of Protest"
coincides with the fiftieth anniversary of the 1968 protests in Paris
and leverages the spectacular collection of period protest posters held
at Harvard’s Houghton Library as well as photos from Yale’s Beinecke
Library. It maps out the spaces of protest along the Seine, from
Nanterre to the Renault factory, from the École des Beaux Arts, which
was transformed into a “People’s Workshop” producing protest art
round-the-clock, to the Sorbonne.
