City/Cité Oakland x Saint Denis 2024

©Là, là ou là / Alice Caron - illustrations cartographiques

Whether they are suburbs, outskirts, or banlieues, the program aims at centering the margins. Artistic movements, social struggles, urban innovations: Oakland, California and Saint-Denis, France are now asserting their cultural and artistic influence and inventing solutions to the challenges of inequity and accelerated urban development that metropolises are facing. We are willing to share these innovative practices to start a dialogue around the margins.

This project is co-produced by Villa Albertine San Francisco and California Humanities, and presented by the Pavillon de l’Arsenal, Paris, Maison des Sciences de l’Homme Paris Nord, Saint-Denis, SPUR, San Francisco, and Oakstop, Oakland with the support of 836M Foundation, Art Explora, the Institut Français, Périféeries, Arte and the cities of Oakland and Saint-Denis.
