From 8 to 11 September 2025, Paris will host the first station of CIRCUL’ARTS – Connecting Critical Pedagogies, Inclusive Art Forms and Alternative Barometers for Urban Sustainability, a COST Action (CA23117) bringing together researchers and artists from around the world to explore the intersections between art, critical pedagogies, and urban sustainability.

The event, held at the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme (FMSH) and the Maison de l’Amérique Latine, features an international conference (8–10 September), a training school with invited experts, and on 11 September a Core Group Meeting followed by a film screening and artists’ discussion.

Participants include experts from diverse fields – education, visual arts, theatre, music, urban studies, and sustainability – with contributions from Europe, Latin America, and Africa. The programme highlights innovative approaches to pluriversal pedagogies, urban artistic practices, creative ecologies, and community participation.

Running from 2024 to 2028, CIRCUL’ARTS aims to establish a collaborative network of research and practice that fosters inclusive narratives on circularity and sustainability in urban contexts, while valuing local knowledge, historical memory, and artistic forms of expression and exchange.
