interstitial units
Objective
Create a laboratory for research and creation focused on interstices within a territory or institution.
Methodologies
We support the creation of interstitial units within existing contexts. Situated and lively, these units enable the emergence of interstitial projects over time.
Each unit acts as a lasting creative catalyst, encouraging sensitive exploration, contextual listening and collective activation.
Our missions may include:
- Co-designing a unit for research and creation, temporary or permanent
- Facilitating regular interstitial workshops
- Leading artistic residencies rooted in the context
- Producing narratives and forms emerging from the field
- Connecting communities, environments and knowledge
Challenges addressed
Interstitial units respond to:
- the need for slow, situated experimentation
- fragmented environments or those losing connection with their context
- the difficulty of generating renewed narratives or relevant modes of action
- the absence of frameworks for research and creation within existing structures or local contexts
- a wish to reshape practices and perceptions in place
Ideal for
LUniversities, companies, research centers, museums, local authorities, post-industrial sites, or natural environments seeking to host a living, situated initiative in harmony with their ecosystem.
