Research and creation encounters - Memory of the future : The conditions of happiness

Every year since 2014, the Research and creation encounters have been experimenting with new modes of discussion between artists and researchers, between international research and the concerns of cultural actors. This 8th edition will focus on the theme of “The memory of the future”. By drawing connections between artistic works and research results, the Encounters have expanded the field of knowledge and opened new perspectives for our understanding of our societies.
