Arts mentorship Sandra Rocha x Perrine Géliot
Pernod Ricard has long believed that art is only meaningful if it is shared. A belief which dates back to the origins of the Group, and remains relevant today. Now, after more than a decade of placing photography at the heart of our annual report through our annual “Carte Blanche” artistic campaign, we are strengthening our commitment to creation through the Arts Mentorship programme which saw a celebrated photographer invited to act as a mentor to a young artist. Together the pair created an international project culminating in an exhibition at the Rencontres d’Arles photo festival. The programme echoes everything that the Group believes in: supporting creators, transmitting knowledge, and bringing people together around authentic shared experiences. For the project, photographer and mentor Sandra Rocha selected young artist Perrine Géliot as her mentee, connecting with her to create an immersive examination of the parallels between the history of Mayan civilisation and the Anthropocene era in which we now find ourselves.
