ENSBA - Lyon

  • Creation date: June 2015
  • Particularities : Cradle of the Recuperatheques, its name will become a greneric denominator. After being installed in the school's basement, the Recuperateque had to move in 2018 because the premises could not accommodate audience or inflammable materials. Today, it is located in a well-equipped room just above the former premises, on the first floor.

    read +
    • Creation date : 2018
    • Particularities : Set up by the Student Office, l’Aubenne is both a Recuperation Center and a "store" for fine arts supplies. Born from a real lack of fine arts supplies in the city of Saint Etienne and from the observation of an obvious annual waste of materials that only required a place of exchange to continue to live. L'Aubenne is a local, a crossroads of material needs within the school. Its aim is to share finds, avoid the trash, save money and above all to exchange in all senses of the word. <3
