Temporary exhibition: 1931, foreigners in colonial times
From May 6th to September 7th, 2008. Cité nationale de l’histoire de l’immigration. Paris, France
The exhibit "1931" evokes the situation of foreign and colonial immigrants in metropolitan France in 1931. In this inter-war period, two contrasted images prevail: on one hand, the glorification of the French colonial Empire and its "civilizing mission" with the colonial exhibition of Bois de Vincennes; on the other, the presence of 3 million foreigners in France who make it the first immigration country in the world. Visitors can immerse in the "tunnel of time" to question the links, or lack of links, between colonial foreigners in France in 1931. In the form of a theater, visitors are invited to discover the dark side of the stage of the colonial exhibition. Visitors enter behind the scenes of the exhibition to discover a French social reality away from the show offered in the Bois de Vincennes.
