Passerelle Culturelle
They work within the Institution de Lavigny, In Canton de Vaud, Switzerland.
As a quote from their website (translated, it's in French) : "Passerelle Culturelle - meaning cultural bridge - proposes a custom made formation to young people interested in culture and presenting particular skills that don't allow for a standard orientation. This formation allows them to integrate public or private structures with cultural vocations."

Having worked with these young people for a few days, I cannot understate the importance of protecting anyone who sees things differently than the majority as a society ; they are the artists, the discoverers, the thinkers, the scientists. They are the ones who have new and unexpected ideas that make us move forward.
The work was in collaboration with the then Musées de l'Elysée, now Photo Elysée, a world class Photograph museum now part of the bigger Plateforme 10, newest Quartier des Arts of Lausanne in Switzerland.
The students needed fun portraits and there was also a narrative panel, worked as a comic strip, to explain the works of Passerelle Culturelle. It was exhibited at the top floor of the then Musée de l'Elysée for a couple of months in 2020.
