Devised in 2014 by the Agriculture and Food division of the MuCEM museum (Marseille), PATREM (Portraits of Players in Rural and Maritime areas) proposes every year, for upper secondary school students in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region of south-east France, to create portraits of players in rural and maritime areas by means of ethnographic interviews. The filmed and/or photographed portraits concern mainly professionals who are currently working.
