As part of a session of the course "Intercultural Practices," taught by Catherine Muller with the participation of Manon Boucharéchas, students in the Master’s program in Language Teaching conducted an urban survey: they collected photographs of graffiti, shared them on a virtual wall, and interpreted them collectively.
The participants have developed an awareness of the sociolinguistic landscape and describe the exhibition as follows:
On the walls of Grenoble, beauty and diversity intertwine. Grenoble, where freedom of expression becomes a work of art—sometimes figurative, sometimes mysterious, sometimes abstract.
Take a moment to look at us; we are part of your urban landscape. 
The walls of Grenoble are spaces for expression that give a voice to anyone willing to take it. Graffiti artists claim the space and take control. They shape true sociolinguistic landscapes. 
The posters were created collaboratively by the students.

This exhibition is part of the Mur-Murs project: Semiographic Landscapes, Wall Inscriptions of Struggles and Conflicts, from the Local to the Global (members: Giovanni Depau, GIPSA-lab; Anne Faure, AAU-CRESSON; Catherine Muller, LIDILEM; Cyril Trimaille, LIDILEM), supported by LabEx Architectures.
