Presentation

Transform your emotions and your waste into artistic experimentation: weave a new connection with the environment!

As part of the 2026 Biodiversity Exhibition, the Tourist Office offers a unique sensory and reflective experience with Ophélie, an art mediator.
This environmental mediation workshop invites you to explore your relationship with recycled materials and transform them into unique pieces of expression.

A Creative and Engaging Approach
The workshop unfolds in three parts for complete immersion.
- A discussion about the concept of "waste" to observe how your perception evolves throughout the session.
- Learn the basics of traditional weaving on individual looms provided on site.
- Give plastics a second life by creating your own experimental textile artwork to take home.

Why Participate?
- Innovative Teaching: An approach that blends ecological awareness with artistic practice.
- Accessible to all: No prior weaving experience is required; the workshop is ideal for beginners (ages 15 and up).
- Collaborative experience: A final sharing session, the "Boat of Emotions," will allow you to share your feelings about the environment.
