“Sensitive Transitions” Cycle

Sensitive Transitions is a hybrid research-creation collective that explores sensory dimensions in various work environments and aims to develop a sensory ecology to rethink and act on our transitioning societies.

Originating from an Iméra residency project (2024), its consolidation within Iméra through a series of workshops as part of the “Arts and Sciences: Indisciplined Knowledge” program highlights the fertility of this collective’s exploration. By blending arts and sciences, the collective seeks to address the “crisis of sensitivity” affecting our societies.

The first session of the Sensitive Transitions 2024-2025 workshop series, with a morning open to the public, will be held at La Maison des Astronomes, Iméra, Marseille.

Program
