Nos pieds d’argile – Firminy

Until 11 January 2026, Firminy’s Eglise Saint-Pierre is hosting an exhibition by designer Matali Crasset.

During the 13th edition of the Saint-Étienne International Design Biennial, to be held from 22 May to 6 July 2025, the Site Le Corbusier is presenting the Nos pieds d’argile exhibition, curated by the designer matali crasset. This event is part of the theme Ressource(s), présager demain (Resources, foreshadowing tomorrow), supported by the Biennial, and marks the conclusion of a three-year artistic exploration by the Site Le Corbusier into the city and the ecological transition.

Using a sensitive approach informed by the social sciences and anthropology, designer matali crasset invites visitors to look beyond the reality of a world in crisis, and to experiment with useful design rooted in everyday life. Through what it calls life scenarios, she presents demonstrative architectures, new experiences of habitability and forward-looking narratives, in order to imagine other possibilities.

The exhibition features a number of interactive and modular devices, encouraging the public to take an active part. Visit in French sign language scheduled for 14 December 2025.
