Description
Last May, the goats of the city of Besançon were moved to their summer pastures. Laura Tisserand accompanied this transhumance with her ODE TO THE LIVING.
Created with the participation of more than thirty people, all the costumes, banners, instruments and totem animals paid tribute to the biodiversity of Fort de Planoise.
All participants in Laura’s various workshops related to this project were able to wear the different creations, representing species found at Fort de Planoise: the woodlark, the lesser mouse-eared bat, etc.
This event took place as part of the Biodiversity Festival, organised by the City of Besançon.
Action
LES ATELIERS JUSTE ICI
Les Ateliers Juste Ici is a collective and creative appropriation of public spaces project led by the Juste Ici association since 2018 in the Planoise neighbourhood and since 2021 in the Clairs Soleils neighbourhood, as part of the City Contract. It is supported by the Ministry of Culture, the DRAC Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, the Agence Nationale de la Cohésion des Territoires, the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Region, Grand Besançon Métropole, the City of Besançon and the MJC Clairs-Soleils. Thanks to the adult-relais scheme, artist Laura Tisserand is running workshops and creating works with residents over a three-year period (2024-2027) in these neighbourhoods.
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.
