M28 – The Factory of Futures

For 3 days, Montpellier Sud becomes a space for experimentation, creation, and encounters. Continuing its cooperation efforts, M28 brings together artists, residents, cultural actors, associations, architects, and local partners around a common challenge: to view a changing territory differently and collectively imagine its futures.

In public spaces as well as in many cultural and social facilities, performances, strolls, concerts, exhibitions, workshops, screenings, and meetings provide opportunities to experiment with new ways of sharing and co-creating territory.

A weekend of artistic and civic activation, free and open to all, to bring forth ideas and imaginations, and to collaboratively participate in writing new narratives at the heart of Montpellier Sud.
