Description
The third work in a series that will be displayed in the Planoise and Clairs-Soleils neighborhoods, the “Porte-bonheur” creations were designed by Laura Tisserand and produced in collaboration with the residents of each participating building.
These building facade decorations were conceived through discussions with residents about cheerful images and symbols, anecdotes about the building, and their own ideas of what constitutes a good-luck charm.
After an initial meeting and drawing workshops—where everyone can sketch one or more symbols in pencil—residents are invited to Laura Tisserand’s studio to create their designs in ceramic, which are then hung and mounted on the entrance wall of the building in question. They are accompanied by a mural created by Laura and the residents, which echoes the ceramic pieces.
This building, located at 5 rue des Causses, is the third work in this “Porte-Bonheur” series.

Biographie
Born somewhere in the hills of Besançon in 1998, she has since had the opportunity to flourish in the visual arts as an image maker, wearing the many hats that this profession allows her to wear: illustrator, graphic designer, visual artist and mediator.
Through her role as an image maker, she seeks to highlight what she considers precious: life, in both its social and natural aspects.
She loves plants, animals, humans, mountains, the sky, rivers and forests. She strives to embody a magical and playful perspective in her artistic universe. Bringing magic back to places where we see less of it is fundamental to her: she finds it a means of fighting for the preservation of the imagination, as a tool committed to opening up the possibilities of a socially just future that is closer to the environment.
