@Bernard Calet

In close collaboration with an architect, Alain Fidanza, and an artist, Bernard Calet, residents were mobilized to work on a project aimed at creating a place, a space that would allow them to forge links again. So many links have been lost in recent years by the evolution of society and more precisely, in our unit, by the closure of the nursery school.
The first sessions of work by interviews of locals, such as the work of a young photographer who exhibits this same weekend, will be the subject of a future production both architectural and artistic. You will be able to observe the first returns of this human adventure in the making
