Originally from Strasbourg, he left the London School of Economics to educate his generation on climate issues. As the co-founder of the association Banlieues Climat, he champions an emancipatory approach to ecology and offers a fresh social perspective on climate challenges, reaching audiences often overlooked in these struggles.
Féris reclaims spheres of influence through various avenues: grassroots education and culture, as demonstrated by his impactful actions that blend art and political messaging (such as the mural projected onto the National Assembly between the two rounds of the last legislative elections) or his recent appointment as a board member of the Palais de Tokyo endowment fund. He also wages his battles on social media, uniting a community of over 230,000 followers.
Praised in the press (Le Monde, Konbini, Blast), and recognized with numerous awards and accolades (30 Leaders by Les Echos START, 30 Under 30 by Vanity Fair…), Féris is progressively establishing a new form of activism.
