TY - Type of reference TI - Le Quai des Savoirs: a cultural bridge between Arts, Sciences, and Society, exploring pathways toward desirable futures AU - Laurent Chicoineau AU - Marina Léonard AB - Dedicated to sharing knowledge, particularly on science and society issues, the Quai des Savoirs in Toulouse has chosen to open up a large space for Arts-Sciences creation. This is reflected in the construction of an Arts-Sciences-Society residency program that allows for encounters with the center’s audiences, the organization of seminars between artists and scientists to initiate questions or meetings, and the creation of the Lumières sur le Quai festival around an artistic and scientific itinerary with a dozen installations. These initiatives encourage different perspectives, transdisciplinarity, and questions about the world of tomorrow, by inviting artists, scientists, and citizens into the Science-Society dialogue. This dialogue is built through the continuous attention paid to creating an environment adapted to the presentation of each project: meetings with artists and scientists, mediation for the public, creation of soundtracks, and documentation of the residencies to allow everyone to discover the works according to their desires, from contemplation to appropriation.
