Renaissances, Cité des sciences et de l’industrie

Environmental, societal and health disruptions are making our future uncertain. Worry permeates conversations, the media and social networks. Our imaginations are running wild. They illustrate our fears, but also our desire for change. Based on transdisciplinary scientific analysis, Renaissances offers a powerful emotional experience. It allows us to decipher these imaginaries and use them as a springboard for construction. It’s an opportunity to ask questions about the future of our society, and to take part in the great fork in the road ahead.

Renaissances is a temporary exhibition at the Cité des sciences et de l’industrie in Paris, France, which closed in March 2022. Renaissances still has two offerings: an online experience and a collection of futuristic fictions.

For this exhibition, graphic designer and illustrator Tristan Maillet used the typefaces Maax Raw and Maax Raw Stencil, designed by Damien Gautier and available from 205TF. The scenography was designed by Les Crayons and Yves Morel Workshop.
