résidence in situ
a project which proposes to rethink its relationship with spaces at the Paul Painlevé college in Sevran led by Carlota Sandoval, Magasins Généraux & Art en Partage • IN PROGRESS
In collaboration with Magasins Généraux and the Art en Partage association, visual artist Carlota Sandoval Lizarralde is offering an artistic residency at the Paul Painlevé College in Sevran, offering young people the opportunity to rethink their relationship with the spaces they use frequently, on a daily basis by hybridizing them with their imaginations.
Drawing on the intertwining of personal and collective stories, she wants to invite students to create visual stories that encourage critical thinking. Through this work, she proposes to question the issues of migration, identity, and belonging, while exploring urban dynamics and ways of inhabiting and traveling the city today.
Echoing the “Grande ville” exhibition presented last fall at Magasins Généraux, this residency invites participants to imagine new utopias by placing dreams, art and fiction at the heart of the landscape and daily life of the college. The artist suggests starting from the territory of young people, by encouraging the exploration of the real and imaginary spaces of their college, their neighborhood and their city. Thus, participants will be invited to tell their own vision of these spaces, to share their experiences and to contribute to the creation of new narratives.
Poster: Kids make their own film festival
The kids make their own film festival is an event organized by Le Trianon cinema and open to everyone.
In collaboration with Le Trianon cinema and Langevin Wallon School in Romainville, this project gives children the chance to take part in every step of designing the festival’s official poster.
As part of this initiative, the children worked with illustrator and graphic designer Fanny Monier to create a unique festival poster. In January, three workshops were held. The first allowed children to draw elements from the world of cinema, such as movie characters, production teams, audience members, and film industry roles. The second workshop encouraged them to imagine original settings like a cinema on the beach or in space offering a fresh perspective on movie venues. The final workshop focused on designing a custom typeface. These creative sessions resulted in a one of a kind poster for the festival.
living together
Aulnay-sous-Bois
A project of living together at Pablo Neruda secondary school and André Malraux primary schools in Aulnay-sous-Bois, led by Ilona Mikneviciute - IN PROGRESS
Spearheaded by the association Art en Partage in collaboration with the artist Ilona Mikneviciute, this project brings together students from the collège Pablo Neruda, the école André Malraux and the lycée Voillaume (to be confirmed) in Aulnay-sous-Bois. Through a series of participatory artistic workshops, young people are invited to explore the notions of living together, solidarity and civic commitment.
By experimenting with different artistic practices, they co-construct a collective work that reflects their values and aspirations. The project fosters exchanges between students from different schools and encourages collaboration through creative challenges, discussions and reflection on the place of each individual in the society.
Throughout the year, workshops, cultural outings and mediation sessions will punctuate this approach, culminating in a semi-permanent artistic installation produced collectively. A final highlight will bring together the pupils, families and teachers for a collaborative performance, showcasing the creativity and commitment of the young people involved.
The aim of this project is to make art accessible to all, strengthen social links and promote young people through a unifying artistic dynamic.
projet tissage
a project to teach weaving techniques at Maryse Bastié school in Romainville, run by Inès Farina, le Pavillon & Art en Partage
In collaboration with the artist Ines Farina , Le Pavillon de Romainville and the Maryse Bastié primary school , we carried out an artistic weaving project in November and December. The CE2/CM1 and CM1/CM2 students participated in five creative workshops inspired by La Danse des tarantules by the Maw Maw collective.
Exploiting used textiles, the children created a large collective weaving on the school railings and explored other creations. This project was an opportunity to raise awareness of the role of the textile industry in climate change and to imagine sustainable solutions by giving new life to the materials.
résidence in situ
a project combining art, sport and documentary at Pablo Neruda secondary school and Malraux school in Aulnay-sous-Bois led by Pierre Larauza & Art en Partage - 2023 - 2024
Our association invited documentary artist Pierre Larauza to work with pupils from the Pablo Neruda secondary school and the Malraux school in Aulnay-sous-Bois on his creative project for the Cultural Olympiad, in the run-up to the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Pierre Larauza is a sculptor, choreographer and director who specialises in recreating historical sporting movements in sculpture.
Taking a playful, educational and poetic approach, the participating pupils from four secondary school classes and two primary school classes looked at the art of jumping in summer Olympic and Paralympic events. The aim was to produce documentary content that would explore the notions of archives, testimonies, factuality and multiple points of view on reality, through investigations and research, body positioning, practical workshops and meetings with personalities invited by the artist (athletes, sports commentators, poets, etc.).

puzzle végétal
implementation of a series of artistic interventions to explore the links between
Art, nature and plants • 2024
The "Puzzle Végétal" project, initiated by the artist Ilona Mikneviciute, was implemented with the 6th grade classes of the Courbet college, as well as the eco-delegates and a Cm1 / Cm2 class from the Henri Barbusse school. They worked to explore the links between art, nature and plants. A series of workshops on artistic practices and awareness of biodiversity were organized, combining reflections and achievements, drawing, in the background, a plea for the environment. The project resulted in June in the installation of four artistic vegetated structures in the courtyard of the college.
îlot de fraîcheur
friendly green space within Olympe de Gouges High School • 2024
The project was born under the impetus of a group of high school students elected as eco-delegates, who wish to create a green space, an island of friendly freshness within their establishment. This development aims to raise awareness among all students on subjects related to sustainable development and biodiversity.
The eco-delegates of the Lycée Olympe de Gouges are strongly committed to the fight against global warming. They have created an eco-club and have initiated numerous projects within their establishment. Through this collaboration, the aim is to give their approach a boost by allowing them to realize an ambitious project that will impact the entire establishment, and this for several generations of students.
The project will take the form of a friendly and modular green space.
périscolaire
workshops within the framework of the educational project
in the territory of Romainville
Until June 2021, as part of its Territorial Educational Project, the City of Romainville, through the NAPs, mobilized more than 200 workers each week to offer all children attending school in the municipality free, quality extracurricular activities. In accordance with the objectives set by the Territorial Educational Project, our interventions within the framework of the elementary NAPs aimed to offer children free cultural, artistic practice and image education activities, at the heart of the students' cultural and civic journey, from CP to CM2. The groups were formed by class level for the entire school year. The theme or practice covered changed after each school holiday period.
phytotypie
art project in Hannah school
Arendt, initiated by Ilona Mikneviciute • 2021 - 2022
This artistic and cultural trail project focuses on the themes of nature and the link between art and plants, aimed at two classes at the Hannah Arendt school in Romainville. Through a series of workshops, cultural visits and meetings with the works and artists, the aim was to build a project with the children that would lead to the creation of an ephemeral installation within the school. The installation evoked a cloud of leaves scattered in the schoolyard. It was made up of a set of circles made of semi-transparent fabric. The circles were marked by the imprint of the leaves and plants present in and around the school. Inspired by the classification techniques used by botanists, such as herbariums or phytotype plates, the installation demonstrated the richness of the area's flora and raised awareness of the importance of nature and biodiversity in the city.
cac aux Lilas
the map and the territory, route "culture
and the arts in college” • 2021-2022
The project revolved around the series " Figures" by the artist Malala Andrialavidrazana . The works of this artist question the notions of power and territory in a plastic form, through the superposition of maps from different periods, archival images and symbols. This work of historical and anthropological research revolves around the phenomena of migration, displacement, colonization, exploitation of human or environmental resources. The work of this artist resonates particularly with the current issues of Les Lilas and Romainville, which in their recent history have seen antagonistic bands clash, each claiming to belong to a territory to conquer or defend.
More broadly, the encounter with Malala's work questions the notions of identity and belonging, in a world where the local and the global question each other and interact in history.
