Exhibition MEM -- Centre des mémoires montréalaises, Montreal

Un mile dans mes souliers

Temporary and travelling exhibition, 2024

Scenography for the travelling exhibition A Mile in My Shoes at MEM, adapting the Empathy Museum concept to present 30 audio stories through pairs of shoes.

Un mile dans mes souliers is a project of the Empathy Museum, created by London artist Clare Patey. The exhibition takes the form of a store where several pairs of shoes are accompanied by an audio testimony narrated by its owner.

“Put on a pair of shoes, put on headphones and take the time to walk to discover the world through the eyes of another person. The goal? To arouse empathy in the visitor.”

Diane Bernier Design (DBD) created the design adaptation for the new space of the MEM — Centre des mémoires montréalaises, of the exhibition Un mile dans mes souliers presented for the first time in North America, offering 30 stories that are both touching, inspiring, and luminous.
