With the exhibition, EmpathiCITY, making our city together, produced with the network of UNESCO creative cities of design, and the support of the Cité du design, designers are invited into the surrounding regions.

The exhibition calls upon CARTON PLEIN, a multi-disciplinary laboratory of public space design, linked to the 2000 m2 of open space / play area in the centre of Saint-Etienne, known as the Cartonnerie, which serves as local curator. With the "Parcours de jeu", the CARTON PLEIN continues its research action work on playgrounds in the town by inviting two collective organizations to produce full scale installations related to concrete issues facing districts in the throes of major change.
