Each partner, including Avignon University and the association Art waste for France, is to host a residency for a foreign artist, who will collaborate with a local artist on a joint creative project.
The residency organised in November 2025 at the Creative Villa will focus on the theme of recycling agricultural wasteThis is a continuation of the thinking begun with the Olive4ALLrecently completed.
Launched in November 2024 for a period of one and a half years, the OTRart project is being led for Avignon University by Julie Deramonda researcher at the Centre Norbert Elias, in collaboration with her colleagues Isabelle Brianso and Pauline Grisonand with Sylvie Couraletcultural consultant.
The project's visual identity was designed by Agence Tremplina young agency from the Masters in Culture & Communication.
