Sportivités
Sportivités, is a sports competition inspired by the landscape of Sommières. Along with the children at the Sommières Recreation Center we explored the surrounding environment, collected plants, and carried out experiments in-situ. The objects, which use the vegetation found on-site, are created through ancestral craft techniques such as basket-making and weaving. The banners, creating a link to the historical savoir-faire of textiles in the region, are colored with natural dyes and show symbols that represent the rules of each game.
