The City in Play

As part of the "Quartiers libres" cultural festivities organized by Eden, the cultural center of Charleroi, during the summer of 2021, OST went to meet the residents of the Yernaux and Parc housing estates. They asked them the question "What does it mean to live here?" through a logbook designed in partnership with the ICA. The installation reflects the participation of the residents, who share their own ways of living, inhabiting and experiencing the city, based on the missions and workshops carried out on site by the OST. The collective works in partnership with the ASBL C prévu, which aims to break the social division between vulnerable people and new technologies. Jean-Michel, Sandra and Maurice have collected a series of audio testimonials which also capture the atmosphere of the actions carried out this summer.
