In 2009 and 2010, KompleX KapharnaüM initiated the Projets Phare (“flagship projects”), a programme of shared residencies during which several artists conceived a site-specific proposition in the district of La Soie (Villeurbanne and Vaulx-en-Velin, eastern Greater Lyon).
At the end of the residency, an urban trail linking the various freshly-created propositions was offered to the public.
These artistic walks, staged as part of the European Heritage Days, offer a novel approach to the area - a mixture of industrial past, present renewal, and service-sector future.
