What Will the Future Look Like? Paris Gallerist Kamel Mennour Turned to Children for an Answer—See Their Responses Here

What the gallery says: “‘How do you see
the world after this?’ Kamel Mennour asked this question to
children around the world, from kindergarten to 12th grade to
answer it by drawing their visions on an A4 sheet of paper. Those
drawings are now shown from May 23 for the reopening exhibition of
the gallery, alongside the works on paper by the artists of the
gallery, and will all be sold at the same fixed price. And all the
funds raised will go to the Fondation Abbé Pierre and the Necker
Hospital.”

Why it’s worth a look: Right now, it’s
difficult to imagine where we go from here: There’s a global
pandemic raging, demonstrators around the world protesting police
brutality, and, on top of it all, political elections taking across
the US. At moments like this, sometimes the best answers are the
simplest, and who better to articulate those than children?

Kids say the darndest things, and, it turns out, make some
pretty great art too. See their illustrations answering the
question “How do you see the world after this?” below.
