Caring for Space, Spaces for Caring est une exposition photographique et vidΓ©o qui montre comment des communautΓ©s Γ  travers l’Europe rΓ©habilitent des bΓ’timents inoccupΓ©s et des sites abandonnΓ©s pour en faire des espaces de Β« care Β» (Β« rΓ©confort Β»), crΓ©ant des communs urbains Γ  la fois gΓ©nΓ©ratifs et rΓ©silients.
D’AthΓ¨nes Γ  Bruxelles, d’abris pour rΓ©fugié·es en Bosnie aux communautΓ©s d’artistes Γ  Marseille, ces initiatives transforment leur fragilitΓ© en une forme de rΓ©silience, faisant de l’occupation une pratique de soin, de rΓ©sistance et d’imagination collective pour un avenir urbain plus inclusif.
πŸ“Έ Avec les oeuvres de : Brieuc Van Elst, Communitism, Grupi Ata, Marie Trossat, Milena Desse, Romain Silvi, Tessa Kraan, Toha de Brant, ainsi que des dessins de Dimitri Machas.

"Reclaming care and the city towards an ecological welfare"
(EN)
🌍 Over the past two decades, communities across Europe have been reclaiming vacant buildings and abandoned sites, transforming them into urban commons, cultural spaces, shelters, and places of care. These initiatives act as living laboratories, where care for people, communities, and the environment takes root in fragile yet inventive ways.
πŸ“Έ The exhibition π‚πšπ«π’π§π  𝐟𝐨𝐫 π’π©πšπœπž, π’π©πšπœπž 𝐟𝐨𝐫 π‚πšπ«π’π§π  brings together photography and video to capture such spaces. From Athens, Kamza, Marseille, BihaΔ‡, and Brussels, we showcase stories of reclaimed heritage buildings, refugee shelters, artist compounds, and rewilded brownfields.
These works highlight how occupation and transformation become acts of care, resisting privatization and opening up possibilities for a more collective urban future β€” an enduring testimony that other worlds are possible. 🌱
