We have organized a traveling exhibition of photographs taken by Laurent Hou and Shirin Ahmed during last year’s Fête de la Musique. These pictures give an overview of our event, for those unfamiliar with Fête de la Musique, and some brilliant shots for those wanting to revisit last year’s great party. It depicts some of the bands on stage, the great crowds we’ve had in various venues, and of course the volunteers who make it all possible.

Here’s a little preview of the wonderful pictures exposed:


We are very thankful to the two photographers who have worked with us to make this happen, Laurent Hou and Shirin Ahmed.


Laurent Hou is a French photographer who has been based in China for over five years. Starting with shootings for local magazines like the Beijinger in 2013, Laurent soon made a name for himself and became the French Embassy’s official photographer Croisements Festival in 2014, as well as for the 50th anniversary of the establishment of relationships between France in China. Since then, his works have been presented at various exhibitions, such as the World Expo in Roma and Milan in 2015, or Yanhuang Museum in 2017, and have won prizes such as PDN’s international contest on the theme of « Ultimate Music Moment »


Shirin Ahmed graduated with a degree in Social Sciences from Bahria University in Islamabad, Pakistan. Her passion for documenting life through photography ranges from everyday life to film sets. She balances life between pursuing an MFA in photography at the Beijing Film Academy and collaborating with film projects as still photographer, translator or second camera assistant. She is currently working on her first fiction film.
