The Memorial de la gare de Bobigny presents an exhibition dedicated to Charlotte Salomon, a German-Jewish artist deported from the Bobigny station in 1943 on convoy no. 60.
In 1943, in Nice, Charlotte Salomon, a young German Jewess, handed a box to a doctor. Inside, he discovered Vie? ou Théâtre? a unique work comprising 1,300 gouaches, texts and scores, forming a visual and musical narrative. Through these images, she retraces, as in a graphic novel, the story of her family from 1913 to 1940: her childhood in Berlin, the rise of Nazism, a love story, then her exile in France, to her grandparents, before the war.
The Charlotte Salomon exhibition was conceived as part of an educational project with a senior class from Lycée Louise Michel in Bobigny. The students took part in every stage of the exhibition's creation, tracing the artist's destiny through a sensitive journey marked by exile, persecution and creation.
Opening of the Charlotte Salomon exhibition on May 22.
The exhibition opens on Museum Night, Saturday May 23, 2026. The discovery of the Charlotte Salomon exhibition is accompanied by readings and a musical ambiance for an immersive experience. Extracts from the artist's writings, passages from David Foenkinos' novel Charlotte and testimonials from deportees punctuate the tour.
May 29, 7pm The animated film Charlotte is shown free of charge at the Alice Guy cinema in Bobigny. Following the screening, there will be a discussion with members of the film team (to be confirmed).
Other events will be scheduled around the exhibition.
