Exposition | ALT-HER. La patrimonialisation alternative des vestiges industriels

June 12

ALT-HER reveals how squatters, graffiti artists, and urban explorers quietly preserve working-class memory at abandoned industrial sites like the Babcock Factory. Through two years of field research, this exhibition explores the tension between official urban renewal and underground heritage-making: unauthorized acts of attention that keep history alive when bulldozers threaten to erase it.
