In fall 2022, I was winner of the residency of the Friends of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Saint-Étienne Métropole, in partnership with MAMC+ and the City of Saint-Étienne. The city, a place of multiple migrations, in particular because of the old mines and industry, has an exceptional network of family gardens. I was able to explore part of these gardens looking for stories of plants from elsewhere. I found magnificent stories of roots. ​
