“Moi aussi, j’veux jouer” (Me too, I want to play): the photo exhibition that shines a spotlight on Adapted Sports athletes
In Grenoble, a unique exhibition is changing the way we view mental and psychological disabilities in sport. Its name? “Moi aussi, j’veux jouer ” (Me too, I want to play) — a simple, powerful phrase, like a cry from the heart of Adapted Sports athletes, who are still too often invisible on the Paralympic stage.
15 faces, 15 stories, 15 champions
Organized by Marie Wattier and the Isère Departmental Committee for Adapted Sports (CDSA 38), this exhibition brings together 15 exceptional athletes: 7 women and 8 men, all with mental or psychological disabilities or autism spectrum disorders.
They are table tennis players, swimmers, runners, rugby players, long jumpers, often French champions, even world champions. In front of the cameras of Grenoble photographers Joseph Caprio and Meaghan Major, they reveal their passion, their energy and, above all, their joy of playing.
“Every step is a battle, every step is a victory,” sums up the photographer behind the project with emotion.
The powerful and luminous images capture the essence of sport: pushing oneself beyond one’s limits, camaraderie, and the pride of representing a discipline that is still too little known.
A militant and inspiring exhibition
Previewed at HP’s premises in Grenoble, the exhibition has already been a huge success before being installed at the Grenoble Fair (Alpexpo) from November 1.
The photos will be displayed in large format, suspended in the aisles, visible to all—a powerful symbol: that of Adaptive Sports finally visible, finally celebrated.
This exhibition is part of a collective movement that began in Grenoble, led by Sandrine Chaix, Vice President of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region in charge of disability issues and spokesperson for the Inclusive 2030 Games statement.
The goal is shared: for Adaptive Sports athletes to find their rightful place at the 2030 Winter Paralympic Games in the French Alps.
“They are there, they perform, they deserve to be seen and applauded on the slopes and in the stadiums,” emphasizes Sandrine Chaix. “This exhibition is one more step towards that recognition.”
Changing perceptions, one image at a time
With its powerful title—“ Moi aussi, j’veux jouer ” (Me too, I want to play) the exhibition echoes the Inclusive Games 2030 statement, signed by more than 2,000 people: athletes, elected officials, citizens, and personalities from the worlds of sport and associations.
They all share the same conviction: inclusion must not stop at the threshold of the Games.
Through these 30 photos, Adapted Sport asserts itself as an essential component of the Paralympic movement and a driver of universal emotion.
Because beyond the podiums, every smile, every stride, every dive tells the story of a collective victory: the right to exist fully.

An initiative in line with the Inclusive 2030 Games
This exhibition is part of the same movement as the Inclusive 2030 Games statement: to break down barriers, change attitudes, and showcase a more open and fair parasport that is more representative of all forms of disability.
As the Paralympic movement enters a new era of impact and inclusion, “Moi aussi, j’veux jouer” (I want to play too) reminds us that visibility is the first step towards recognition.
