Associated
events

Alongside the Respire, pour un design climatique exhibition, several associated events are being held: walking and biking tours, creative workshops, basketry demonstration, masterclasses and a symposium. These projects are aimed at a broad audience: children, adolescents, adults, students, researchers, and experts. Their ambition is to educate as many people as possible to the challenges of breathing and to a form of design which focuses on air quality.

EMOTION BIKES

Emotion Bikes are three itineraries in Esch-Belval and its surroundings to discover or rediscover this territory in transition, between living heritage and close future: listen, look, feel, let your senses and emotions unfold. Emotion Bikes navigates between reality and fiction to address all audiences that are curious about History, questioning how they insert themselves in their contemporary environment.

The proposed itineraries were designed during an Artem workshop entitled FabCity, which brings together students from the three schools of the Artem Alliance [École nationale supérieure d’art et de design de Nancy -Ensad Nancy-, ICN Business School and Mines Nancy]. FabCity is a project of Ensad Nancy led by Vincent Guimas and Thibaut Louvet, guest designers.

PARADE INDUSTRIELLE
KIDS SOUNDS SYSTEM

La Parade industrielle (The Industrial Parade) is an interactive and sound guided tour for children. Animated by a guide/conductor, the young visitors listen to and participate in three stories that tell us about the site’s identity, alongside that of the city and of its inhabitants: the steel industry as the heart of the territory, the diverse communities as a resource, and music as salvation. Three stopping points, three stories that children will enrich through their sound power.

PARCOURS INDUSTREET
NATURE ROMANTIQUE

What if we looked at Esch-Belval’s industrial site as a romantic landscape? Inspired by the ocular and aesthetic experiences of painter Claude Lorrain, we want visitors to discover four visual and sound paintings through the stories of former steelworkers. Like some romantics of the 19th century who used Claude’s glasses and mirrors to observe nature, we propose to look differently, through new artifices, such as coloured filters and visual mechanisms, to rediscover the romantic nature of the site.
