Children Power, un recueil was published on the occasion of Children Power, an exhibition in three parts, presented in spring 2021 at Les Réserves in Romainville, at Le Plateau in Paris and at Le Château de Rentilly. The publication brings together a collection of texts about childhood from different fields, from authors of various statuses, from the world of research and social sciences, literature, philosophy, art world, historians, critics or artists. This collection of texts, which proposes a broad questioning of childhood, finds its originality in the plurality of discourses, forms and intentions brought together here. Each of the texts offers a new perspective and it is by sedimentation that the collection brings a very singular reading on this question.
