NE ME DIS PLUS

Young students from the Collège Pierre Mendès, Paris, 20th arrondissement, with Julia Borderie. 

In our neighbourhood, "Les Portes du Vingtième" in Paris, why are we so uncomfortable in some places that we often go to, that we avoid them? Whether it's a park, a stadium, a walkway or a street corner, these places are mostly occupied by men. Every time we walk through or play in these spaces, we are met with sentences.
It was by questioning ourselves on the future of our neighbourhood that we decided to take action! Together, we occupied our neighbourhood spaces, we used our bodies to perform, our fists up and our backs brandishing strong statements. "Don't say those words to me anymore!" These words that we don't want to hear anymore, we are giving them for you to see!
