3rd MATCH Residency begins in Marseille!
We’re happy to announce the start of the third MATCH Residency welcoming artists Lizzie Reid @lizzie_reid_ and Swati Devichi @swatdv to La Friche la Belle de Mai @frichelabelledemai in Marseille, France, running from 26 January to 26 February 2026.
The residency takes place at Les Jardins des Rails, a community garden within La Friche la Belle de Mai, where residents, students, and local associations collectively cultivate and care for a former industrial site through shared urban gardening practices.
The residency is produced by La Friche la Belle de Mai, a cultural “third place” that brings together artistic activity, urban transformation, and strong connections to its territory, functioning both as a workspace for resident organizations and as a cross-disciplinary venue open to the public.
During the residency Lizzie Reid aims to create a collaborative artwork based on the knowledge gathered during the residency, ideally resulting in a piece that can live on in the green space in some form. Swati Devichi aims to foster shared authorship, regenerative imagination, and a deeper sense of care for everyday urban spaces. The Jardin des Rails offers fertile ground for using photography as a tool for archiving, justice, and hopeful transformation.
The residency will be followed by digital reflections, and culminates in a public exposition in June 2026. Stay tuned! 🌀🌿
