Montalbanaises

It smells of paint and enthusiasm. On a wall of the hall, place Lalaque, a fresco representing four illustrious Montalbanaises takes shape. Brushes and bombs in hand, masks on the nose, the young people of the Municipal Youth Council (CMJ) follow with application the advice of the graffiti artist Alexis Diermer, better known under the name of Tiger.

In addition to bringing a new aesthetic to the hall of the Place Lalaque, the children chose to deliver a message by the creation of this fresco. They decide to honor four emblematic female figures of the City: "We would like every Montalbanese to know these characters. These women are examples for us. They prove that certain fields of activity are not only reserved for boys" explain Amélia and Luna, two young people from CMJ.

After several searches, the young people naturally chose Olympe de Gouges, pioneer of feminism, humanist and woman of letters but also Brigitte Deidier, world judo champion, Caroline Aigle, first French woman to become a fighter pilot and finally Janine Garrisson, historian and politician.

Accompanied by Tigre, they deliver their ideas and their desires. At the end of numerous exchanges, of several tests, they finally come to fruition. All the afternoon of May 8, they created the background for the fresco. Then, during several evenings, in small groups, they applied themselves to the details to offer to the eyes of each a fresco full of life and meaning.
