This edition of the Region in Focus presents a portrait of the independent cultural sector in France, through the lens of two cities, Lille and Nantes, presented as microcosms of the broader Europe. Banlieues d'Europe collected different points of view through interviews, images and reflections by various cultural players.
Accompanying these perspectives is a mapping of the key French organisations that facilitate cultural cooperation. The mapping was undertaken by l’Observatoire des Politiques Culturelles in consultation with many partners in the regions of France.
