En 1965, Solange Brand est recrut\u00e9e pour un poste de secr\u00e9taire \u00e0 l\u2019Ambassade de France \u00e0 P\u00e9kin par l\u2019interm\u00e9diaire du lyc\u00e9e parisien o\u00f9 elle termine ses \u00e9tudes. Les deux pays ont \u00e9tabli des relations diplomatiques l\u2019ann\u00e9e pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au cours des trois ann\u00e9es qu\u2019elle passe en Chine, elle r\u00e9alise ses premi\u00e8res photographies (appareil Pentax, diapositives couleur Agfa en provenance de Hong Kong) et assiste aux d\u00e9buts de la R\u00e9volution culturelle. Ce s\u00e9jour se r\u00e9v\u00e9lera autant fondateur que formateur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elle quitte P\u00e9kin en d\u00e9cembre 1968 et rentre en France en effectuant un voyage \u00e0 travers l\u2019Asie qui, outre un \u00ab d\u00e9tour \u00bb par la Nouvelle-Cal\u00e9donie, lui fait d\u00e9couvrir le Cambodge, la Tha\u00eflande, Singapour, l\u2019Inde, le N\u00e9pal, l\u2019Afghanistan et l\u2019Iran. La guerre ravagera certains de ces pays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A son retour \u00e0 Paris en 1969, elle entre au service Etranger du journal le Monde comme secr\u00e9taire avant d\u2019int\u00e9grer, en 1971, la r\u00e9daction du quotidien en qualit\u00e9 de secr\u00e9taire de r\u00e9daction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En 1980, elle rejoint le mensuel Le Monde diplomatique o\u00f9, jusqu\u2019en 2004, elle exerce les fonctions de directrice artistique et initie un visuel associant les textes \u00e0 des \u0153uvres classiques ou contemporaines d\u2019artistes peintres et de photographes. Ce regard novateur a fait l\u2019objet de diverses publications et de travaux universitaires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 2000, Solange Brand ressent la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 de scanner ses diapositives \u2013 rest\u00e9es bien rang\u00e9es pr\u00e8s de 40 ans \u2013 afin de les pr\u00e9server, consciente du document qu\u2019elles repr\u00e9sentent sur un temps disparu. Elle constitue un fonds de plusieurs centaines de photos et num\u00e9rise \u00e9galement des archives sonores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un slideshow est pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 en 2002 au Festival de Pingyao, suivi en 2005 de la publication de P\u00e9kin 1966, petites histoires de la R\u00e9volution culturelle<\/em> \u00e9dit\u00e9 par Kate Fletcher et les Editions de l\u2019Oeil Electrique. Ce sera l\u2019origine d\u2019un projet en permanente \u00e9volution par ses implications et les rencontres qu\u2019il suscite aussi bien en France qu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger. Projet qui r\u00e9pond \u00e0 un profond d\u00e9sir de transmission et participe \u00e0 la restitution aux Chinois de cette part de leur histoire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
