Our commitment to a socially sustainable society also includes the relocation of culture. La Tricoterie is located in Saint-Gilles, a municipality teeming with associations and artists who lack visibility, yet have a tremendous amount to share. We therefore prioritize these local artists and partners by highlighting their creations and giving them a space to express themselves.
In doing so, we move away from the model of the international artist whose performance people attend in a massive venue before heading straight back home. Instead, we showcase local artists who perform in human-scaled spaces and build a genuine connection with the audience.
Through this, we align ourselves with the vision of the Sophia Plan, developed by the Kaya Coalition, which proposes creating local cultural nodes aimed at a nearby audience. These actions lead the way toward creating short- circuit cultural events that cultivate local cultural biodiversity.
