For this episode, we are in Zone Sensible in Saint Denis (France) , with our partner Parti Poétique, to experience their Creative Assembly together.
The association Parti Poétique was founded in 2003 in Saint-Denis.Since then, it has continuously supported artists and projects deeply connected to their local environments — projects that build a strong and meaningful relationship between art and nature.Under the artistic direction of its founder, Olivier Darné, Parti Poétique has been leading, from its base Zone Sensible in Seine-Saint-Denis, a creative and socially engaged program built around a thematic trilogy: Nature/Culture/ Food.
On September 20th, Zone Sensible hosted a special day called Le Grand Partage — a day dedicated to creation, ecology, and sharing, marking the culmination of the Creative Assembly. Throughout the day, visitors were invited to take part in a variety of workshops and collective moments centered around art, culture, and food.
In essence, the Creative Assembly offered an artistic and sensory experience where art, nature, food, and ecological awareness came together — a true celebration of circularity, the living world, and collective creation.
