Ever since then, it has hosted academics, artists, refugees, feminists and militants to engage in cross-disciplinary critical discussion and activism. La Colonie is a committed occupation of public space, whose unique combination of societal reflection and convivial atmosphere are reflected in a programme of workshops, lectures and concerts.
This is the first time the project is being hosted by an institution. For the museum, La Colonie will guarantee a perceptive and accessible programme on the theme of Architecture and Ethics, with a special focus on ephemeral architecture and re-appropriation.
