 A project combining urban planning, urban art, visual arts, literature and graphic design.

  • Tuesday, September 12
    Launch of the operation with a lecture by Arzhel Prioul and Mathieu Tremblin at 6:30pm at ENSAM (Anphi 1).
    At the same time, white cards will be sent to around fifty artists, and the following day two groups of ENSAM students from Sète and Montpellier will scout the billboards.
  • In October, once the completed boxes had been returned, the students reproduced them to scale.
  • Wednesday, November 22 at 9 a.m.
    All the posters collaged will be listed and located on an online digital map, and then published in the form of a publication featuring an account of the poster collage experience.
    → more information

The title of the project is the number of the article in the Environmental Code that guarantees freedom of expression in the public space, by requiring the provision of public display panels.
Two artists, Arzhel Prioul and Mathieu Tremblin, propose a protocol for taking over these free billboards by sending postcards in the form of carte blanche to other artists. After identifying the appropriate panels and contexts for the works, the completed cards are then reproduced to scale and displayed. The public space is altered, but it’s a very ephemeral art form, since anyone can cover these panels freely.

La Lisière, a new cultural third place, is coming into being at Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone. A lagoon area at the heart of a fertile ecosystem which is threatened by the rarefaction of fresh water and the rising sea water level. How can we rethink our relationship with the land, living things, water? Meetings, discussions, shows – fun ways of sparking a playful, festive and creative reappropriation of land, water and living things. An event initiated by TSV, a professional training centre for the performing arts, RECréa, the CEN conservation agency, Atelline, Villeneuve-Les-Maguelone town council and local cultural actors.

Friday, January 19, 2024
théâtre Jérome Savary, Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone
indoor – open to all

A series of immersive, participatory astro-musical lectures for the general public.

Captives of our over-lit cities, we’ve lost direct contact with the Universe, with the starry sky.

To renew this lost link, we’re offering a series of 4 astro-musical lectures in which the scientific narrative (by Vincent Guillet, astrophysicist, University of Montpellier) is accompanied by a quartet of musicians led by drummer and composer Arnaud Le Meur. In this lecture staged by Aurélie Namur, astrophysics and music exchange and play, to let you feel the dynamics at work in the Universe.

Our common thread on this journey? The 4 seasons – Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter – so characteristic of the European art of living. Three of these evenings will be outdoors, allowing you to contemplate the celestial vault, and one, Winter, indoors.

Each season will have its own musical composition, its own quartet, its own scientific narrative, and its own color. This red thread will enable us to rediscover the evolution of the sky over the course of the year, and to revisit the history of the Universe, in music, with a poetic and philosophical approach.

The story, which is free of mathematical formulas but makes great use of analogies drawn from everyday life, will be illustrated on screen with astronomical images taken by the largest telescopes, as well as live images of the Milky Way taken by a digital telescope. Telescope observation will also be offered by the Association Sétoise d’Astronomie dans le Pays de Thau: observation of the Moon and planets before the show, observation of the deep sky after the show.

Our partners :

  • Montpellier 2028
  • L’Université de Montpellier et son service Art & Culture
  • La Faculté des Sciences de Montpellier
  • Le Laboratoire Univers et Particules de Montpellier
  • La société Vaonis

    Saturday, September 16 Cancelled
    from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm
     Postponed to Wednesday, September 20 at 7:00 pm
    On the occasion of the Maison pour Tous Albertine Sarrazin’s back-to-school party and the European Heritage Days, ADEMASS, the Maison pour Tous and their partners are inviting residents of the Cité Gély and beyond to celebrate the neighborhood’s culinary, festive and solidarity-based cultures.
    The glitter will be in the spotlight for this great shared meal orchestrated by Mike Tiger: circus performances, flamenco dancing, clown acts, photo shoots, a glitter bar and a faceted ball!
    Local residents and associations will be showcasing their culinary culture…
    Bring a dish to share, put on your luminous clothes, and we’ll take care of the rest!
    This banquet will be an opportunity to reflect on the neighborhood’s cultures and dream together of making Cité Gély a cultural capital.

Parc de la Guirlande, Montpellier
open to all – free

The objective of Ademass: to develop a project that respects cultural rights and includes the poorer districts. The potluck-style “artistic banquets”, originally a pretext to get out and meet people, have become the very point of this grand narrative in the making. At the dawn of urgently needed environmental, economic and social change and at a time when the poorer districts are bearing the full brunt of crises, the cultural sector must, more than ever, be the means for uniting people and fostering the emergence of shared narratives.

Following an initial survey phase in autumn 2022 (ÉCOUTEZ-LEZ), BIPOLAR proposes a collective mediation between residents and their river. This (RASSEMBLEZ-LEZ) is structured around the creation of a “negotiating committee” made up of some twenty volunteers attached to the river. Through a variety of learning experiences – technical, scientific and sensitive knowledge inputs (field visits, workshops, experience sharing) – its members seek to better understand the river and its own interests. Change perspective, build another relationship with the Lez to imagine and prototype a new form of sensitive water administration that takes into account the interests of the river and its environment. Along the way, the negotiating committee will experiment with assembly and council formats, in public and at local events.

Déambulations : À l’occasion de l’édition 2022 du festival Arabesques, Fanfaraï Street Band réinterprète les musiques du terroir maghrébin en mêlant des thèmes arabo-berbères, turcs ou arabo-andalous et des consonances afro-cubaines, latines ou jazz. À l’image de ses membres, leur répertoire est un étonnant mélange alliant cuivres et percussions, tradition et modernité, Sudistes et Nordistes avec cette volonté partagée, toujours vivace, de générer du lien. Chaque passage contribue à créer des moments forts de partage et de rencontres entre différentes communautés sociales, musicales et culturelles. De la scène à la rue il n’y a qu’un pas pour cet orchestre haut en couleurs qui offre alors un spectacle festif, énergisant et généreux.

Rencontre professionnelle : Arabesques invite des professionnels de la musique de la Région, de France, d’Europe et de pays arabes à s’interroger sur leur rôle face aux reflets politiques internationaux : montée des votes extrêmes, populisme, logiques nationalistes, guerres, révolutions, etc. Si la musique est un reflet sociétal, un outil de lutte sociale ou si elle influence notre quotidien, quel est le rôle des dénicheurs de talents ? Des Pyrénées Orientales à la Palestine, de la Tunisie à la Pologne, les intervenants proposeront un débat participatif sous forme d’afterwork pour créer du lien autour de nos pratiques. Discussion suivie d’un apéritif.

Un temps pour réfléchir aux enjeux de l’espace public et imaginer ses transformations par la création artistique, et l’urbanisme culturel. Un jour par mois, un thème et deux personnes invitées. Ouvert à tout le monde, et notamment à celles et ceux qui pensent et font la ville, à Montpellier et dans sa région, aux étudiantes et aux étudiants en art,
en architecture, en sciences politiques, en urbanisme.
« Favoriser une ville non seulement plus vivable (soutenable et hospitalière), mais aussi plus vivante (animée et démocratique) et vibrante (désirable et inspirante) : voilà l’enjeu de l’urbanisme culturel ! Observer, penser, imaginer et transformer la ville avec celles et ceux qui y vivent, des plus jeunes aux plus âgés, mais aussi avec des artistes et des acteurs culturels, en liant toujours les deux dimensions de l’urbanité, spatiale et sociale : voilà la méthode de l’urbanisme culturel ! ».
Extrait du Manifeste du réseau Ville in Vivo.

Congrès International d’Archéologie Expérimentale. CONEX Pézenas 2022

Groupe de Recherche et d’Etudes du Patrimoine Archéologique Méditerranéen
Meet
Pézenas

Du mardi 25 au vendredi 28 octobre
Petit Théâtre, place Gambetta et rive de Peyne, Pézenas

Pour la première fois depuis sa création, le Congrès International d’Archéologie expérimentale se tiendra hors d’Espagne. Il rassemblera, sur le territoire Montpellier 2028, entre 150 et 200 congressistes, de nationalités différentes.
Le congrès mettra en synergie recherche scientifique (trois sessions scientifiques déclinées en plusieurs parties), médiation culturelle (une session spécifique d’une demi-journée qui rassemblera différents acteurs du territoire qui valorisent le patrimoine) et diffusion auprès du grand public sur le territoire du bassin de vie élargi Montpellier-Sète.
Ce congrès mettra en avant une recherche de haut niveau ayant recours
à l’expérimentation en archéologie pour reconstituer les modes de vie passés (plus de cinquante communications et vingt- trois posters échelonnés sur deux jours
et demi). Ces découvertes seront à plusieurs occasions partagées avec le grand public.
Sur inscription.

En allant au cœur de la relation avec les Artistes, dansePlatForma – une plateforme de danse contemporaine dédiée aux artistes de l’Europe de l’Est – fait exister les liens avec les citoyennes et les citoyens en Europe, crée des passerelles entre nos cultures, confronte nos pratiques, et permet d’entendre leurs paroles par-delà leurs frontières.

Spectacles de danse contemporaine, performance en espace public, studios ouverts, ateliers de pratique artistique, conférences et rencontres internationales composent le programme de dansePlatForma qui fait découvrir au public la scène chorégraphique des pays de l’Europe de l’Est très méconnue en France aujourd’hui.
