Helene Tremblay
A UNIQUE LIFE’S WORK
Helene Tremblay Author “The Families of the World Collection”
Precursor of the idea that it is essential for human evolution to know each other, author, photographer and speaker Helene Tremblay was a television producer in Paris when, 27 years ago, she started the ambitious journey of presenting Humanity to Humanity. To achieve this she has now lived and shared daily activities with families in 116 countries and documented their daily life.
This unique experience has given Helene Tremblay an original insight into global issues as well as an unprecedented intimate knowledge of Humanity.
Fifteen books have been published in the Collection Families of the World and distributed in Canada, USA, Australia and France. Two photo exhibitions of her works have taken place at the United Nations in New York. At the Cultural Foundation of Abu Dhabi and some have traveled in France and Germany.
This project has received support from agencies such as CIDA and UNICEF, UNFPA, UNESCO and companies such as Olympus and the Body Shop International.
