Marseille 4-5 Studio FvLab, Presentation

Marseille 4-5 Studio is an initiative carried out by the Observatory of Cities in Transition, Alternative Policies and Practices (Maison Méditerranéenne des Sciences de l'Homme, Aix Marseille University-CNRS), for a period of 3 years (2022-23 to 2024-25). The vocation of the Studio is to host and support pedagogical and research initiatives that take the 4th and 5th arrondissements of Marseille as a study site to question political, social and urban change; and to put this work in dialogue with the public (inhabitants and public authorities) in order to promote collective knowledge and action. The Studio is independent, even if it is based on partnership with local actors (local town hall and civil society organisations).
