Having a studio here has allowed me to work somewhere other than at home. Working in a mixed environment has been very beneficial for me. It was a conscious choice on my part; I was really interested in the project as a whole. The studio is open to the public here, and it’s very rare for me to be here alone.

Bringing together people in extremely precarious situations, cultural, artistic, and social organizations, as well as the general public, in one place, as we did at Les Grands Voisins, Les Cinq Toits, Maison Marceau, and La PADAF show that not only is it possible, but it also makes sense to replicate these models, not identically, because each project is unique, but by recreating the conditions conducive to diversity, solidarity, and experimentation. Numerous initiatives, such as the solidarity concierge service and the barter shop, have been set up and are helping people to achieve a certain degree of autonomy thanks to the economic activity created on site.
