  • A long-term artistic study of our cross-border region
  • How do we want to share this cross-border region in the future?
A long-term artistic study of our cross-border region
NEXT takes place in and around the Lille-Kortrijk-Tournai Eurometropolis (over 2.1 million inhabitants) and Valenciennes, with its international network of motorways, high-speed trains, airports and waterways. It is a meeting point and crossroads between major cities such as Brussels, Paris and London.

The border crosses urban and rural areas, passing through garages, roads, front doors and back doors. The border is often invisible, but just as strongly apparent. The people who live, live and work on this border also experience the border area in different ways: as a matter of course, as an invitation, but also as an obstacle.

Physical barriers, as well as land and language borders, hamper the sense of belonging and shared ownership. 
How do we want to share this cross-border region in the future?
With CIRCULATIONS, NEXT wants to give an impetus to thinking "further ahead" about the habitability and future of our shared living space. Our starting points include the artist's eye and two key features of this region: water and the border. Artists, cultural and educational partners, residents, students, associations, businesses, political decision-makers... are focusing on the issues of the coming years and developing new ways of bringing them to our attention.

The first milestone in this multi-year project will be critical and artistic research carried out by students on the Master of Experimentation in Political Arts (SPEAP) programme, founded by French sociologist Bruno Latour. The students are Adèle Lhoutellier, Capucine Fouquin, Alexis Nys and Etienne Gilly.

The results of the first year, together with a roadmap for the coming years, will be presented in June 2023.

We've completed our first phase of data collection, which was aimed at getting to grips with the festival's 'territory' and trying to put ourselves in it: the physical area in which it is located, its history, the web of relationships that make it up and hold it together, its past programming, etc.
