Rhodia

Rhodia’s history is dense, bearing the mark of the eras it has passed through: the time when farmers became workers, the time of industry (it was the first artificial textile factory in the world before being bought by the Rhodiacéta group), the time of labour, social and cultural movements (symbol of the great strikes of 1967, it was filmed by Chris Marker and saw the birth of the Medvedkine groups), the time of relocation, the time of abandoned wastelands as spaces of expression and exploration.

Now it is giving way to a park, a witness to an era when natural environments are seeking their common ground.

In the interstices of the past life of the place, are lodged the thousand memories that have crossed it.
