Au Palais des liens renoués [At the Palace of Renewed Ties]: a living exhibition, a memory in struggle

In May 2025, the Musée de l’Imprimerie et de la Communication Graphique steps outside its walls and joins forces with Mémoires Minoritaires – Le Brrrazero to bring a queer archive to life in motion.

Welcome to the Palais des liens renoués, a space where history is printed, reinvented, and shared. Here, posters, flyers, fanzines, and screen prints tell stories of struggles, pride, and often-erased memories. Conceived as the model for an ideal queer archive center, this exhibition celebrates print as a tool for resistance, transmission, and emancipation.

Designed around the graphic work of Godard, this exhibition tells first and foremost a story of family, influences and filiations. Thus, behind his film buff, we can see  his great-uncle Maximilien Vox, an essential figure in French typography and co-founder of the Rencontres de Lure, where the major trends in graphic arts from France gravitate and elsewhere. Both are concerned with finding the writing of their time.

Hayao Miyazaki has adapted a myriad of books, films and manga on the big screen. He also takes inspiration in paintings, places and memories to create a passionate and sentimental multi-layered setting. It is this setting, and what it contains in terms of discoveries of authors, artists and graphic influences from all eras, which is celebrated in this exhibition. Miyazaki, the director, is not the hero of this project, but he is the one we think of as we observe the uncountable ways in which he cuts, transforms, shapes these texts and images to then animate them. 

La Fabrique is the name given to the artist residencies scheduled each year by our museum. Participating in La Fabrique means giving an artist the opportunity to take the time to reflect on her/his practice, her/his journey while sharing with the team and the public of the museum her/his influences and her/his daily work

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) makes no secret of the demands she places on life and her poems. Writing as closely as possible to her emotions, always letting her words overflow her thoughts, the American poet knew very early on that the strength to write gave her a vital impetus capable of facing the difficulty of being in the world and with others

The exhibition "Aller/voir/pouvoir/faire" focuses on the work of the French graphic designer Michel Lepetitdidier, member of the International Graphic Alliance (AGI) since 2003

RGB [RVB] FOR RED, GREEN, BLUE, THREE EXHIBITIONS IN ONE, THREE PROJECTS DESIGNED AS THREE LAYERS OF A SINGLE IMAGE, INDEPENDENT OF EACH OTHER AND WHICH CREATE SURPRISE AND SHARPEN OUR EYES WHEN SUPERIMPOSED.

Jewels attract light. Gems, rings, necklaces, capture all the attention while faces, bodies, buried memories are just hidden behind, waiting to come out of oblivion and get moving.
Discover a panorama of these stories, images and often unknown destinies which fill the life of jewels and give them the only lasting value, that of feelings.
What is our connection to jewellery? Which part of ourselves takes shape in contact with them and what images are released in our thoughts?

An unprecedented approach to the world of jewellery, mainly through books and printed documents.

Susan Kare is one of those graphic artists whose icons and digital typefaces are familiar to all, but whose name and face are unknown.

After its disappearance and return, vinyl is unquestionably once again part of our relationship with music. VinylesMania sets out to reveal what defines our rediscovered attachment to vinyl records, and to tour the globe in images of the women and men who bring them to life, from manufacturers to collectors by way of jacket designers and record shops.

The Museum of Printing and graphic communication will be running, from 16 November 2018 until 24 February 2019, the second in its series of exhibitions entitled “Attention:Logo!” devoted to the history of visual identities. This exhibition will relate the origins and evolution of the logo of Secours populaire française, a non-profit mutual aid organisation, created after the second world war.
