Self-organised Lab.Zone

The self-organised Lab.Zone was first created in 2021 on the initiative of a group of visual arts students. This approach stems from the desire to take time out, among students, without hierarchical figures, to transmit knowledge and practices in a collective manner. The format of the Labzone consists of alternating sessions of collective surveying and 'craft' sessions.

During this first edition, several activities were proposed; from sewing pockets and passing on flying techniques, to customising T-shirts with bleach, to making reusable sanitary pads, or learning to use sound software. This Lab.Zone is also an opportunity to invite outside contributors, artists or not, to make proposals. In 2021, the artists Fanny Lallart and Theophile Ducreux took part in a writing workshop, and the Labzone also invited Laurie Lograda from the mountains for a storytelling walk in the Jura.

Like the other Lab.Zone, we have a budget for production materials, as well as a budget for inviting external speakers. The choice of activities, the format of the Lab.Zone, the interventions, the name of the Lab.Zone, the possibility of a presentation (exhibition or other), and the documentation of the Lab.Zone (fanzine or other) is to be discussed with all participants.
