This cooperative project between the CRAC Alsace in Altkirch, the Kunsthalle in Mulhouse and the CEAAC in Strasbourg is rooted in the Ill, the mythical river crossing Alsace from south to north, and linking the three contemporary art centers and their respective territories: rural, urban, border. Driven by a desire to enter into dialogue with the river, this initiative aims to reactivate a sensitive link with it, while exploring its many dimensions—ecological, historical, biological, ontological, among others. Artists, the public, researchers and scientific and cultural actors are invited to take part in shared times of research, creation and circulation on a regional scale.

This collaborative project has been realized with the support of the Mieux produire, mieux diffuser, a program created by Ministère de la Culture – DRAC Grand Est and endorsed by Région Grand Est. It benefits from the support of Collectivité européenne d’Alsace, la Ville de Strasbourg, la Ville de Mulhouse, la Ville d’Altkirch, [N.A!] Project as well as the HEAR, Service Universitaire de l’Action Culturelle de l’UHA, Motoco and L’Art & la matière (Mulhouse).

The art centers are members of DCA and Plan d’Est.
