Let’s meet in
@lafermedelamhotte ’s future textile recycling center. ✨
This center is at the heart of their cultural association and plays an essential role in raising awareness about waste reduction, recycling, and the repurposing of objects and textiles. Donations from local residents are sorted, selected, repaired, or transformed based on their condition and material potential. It’s mission is closely linked to the local life of the rural area where we are located.
Currently, it is housed in a barn that is unheated, damp, and poorly lit. To better develop the project, the recycling center will move to a new space on the farm that requires space renovation. The association has chosen to organize a participatory workshop involving volunteers and local residents. This approach not only addresses economic constraints but also enhances local engagement and collective ownership of the space.It is within this framework that we have created this 10-day residency from April 9 to April 18, 2026.
The Champ des Possibles association is a cultural association in a rural setting that focuses on
several areas ranging from cultural programming (live performances, concerts) to artist residencies, training through hosting student seminars that confront them with rurality and artisanal skills, and ecological practices with a community workshop for ecological printing using risography, along with a textile recycling center. The association is located on the Mhotte farm in the Bourbonnais bocage at Saint-Menoux.
