Bourges avenir ?

Chancellery Neighbourhood

Bourges

Artistic residence in the Chancellerie neighbourhood with the aim of initiating creative work in cooperation with the initiatives and creative potential of the inhabitants.

Actions realised :

  • Creation of a community garden with the Social Centre
  • Artistic performance with teenagers from the Point Rencontre Jeunes : descent of the river from the neighbourhood to the city centre, feet in the water and in street clothes. Photographs : Hervé Dangla, HDFS collective
  • Utopian urbanism workshops to collectively imagine possible transformations of the neighbourhood.
  • Opening of an urban exploration agency : Bourges avenir ?, a temporary place for urban prospective, exchange and creation to stimulate and make visible our imagination and ideas on the topic of the desirable city. A place for exhibitions, meetings, debates and interventions, this small urban imaginary factory proposes actions of poetic exploration of the city.
