Before the opening of its upcoming exhibition Zones of (non)being, which explores working-class history, migratory experiences, and the conditions associated with them, Le 19, Crac invites you to a time of discussion and creation focused on living together within its heritage building, known for its pluralistic architecture.
This workshop aims to reflect and collectively imagine possible responses to the invisibility of immigrant populations in urban, social, and symbolic spaces. It will also be an opportunity to discuss the links between industrial development and migratory paths (immigration or rural exodus), as Le 19, Crac is housed in a former Peugeot factory that attracted a large workforce from the 1950s onwards to meet its demands for production and expansion.
Following an initial discussion, participants will contribute to the creation of a collective visual piece that rethinks, through individual and collective histories, the spaces of the Pays de Montbéliard.

Student Night is back on Thursday, October 9, in Montbéliard and Audincourt!

The must-attend event of the new academic year: a festive cultural evening to (re)discover the treasures of the local area in a unique atmosphere.
The concept: Visit 5 major cultural venues, get 1 bracelet at each. 3 bracelets = 1 free concert pass at Le Moloco.

At Le 19, enjoy the performance Solace by Maeva Totolehibe, artist featured in the Zones of (non)being exhibition and winner of the Pôle Position #4 initiative with Victor Comby.
A sound installation highlighted by a hybrid architecture blending an abandoned shelter, a burned chapel, and a child’s hut. Solace etymologically evokes the neologism solastalgia — the grief for a lost refuge, homesickness without exile, a nostalgia for the future.

As every year, Le 19, Crac launches a call for projects open to students and graduates of art schools in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and Grand Est regions, as well as students from the Belfort-Montbéliard urban area. This initiative supports emerging artists by offering the opportunity to produce an original work that takes over the Box — a high-up showcase within the art center — and is also part of the City of Montbéliard’s Lumières de Noël trail.

For the third consecutive year, the opening of the Christmas Box is also an opportunity to join forces with local partners to offer a friendly and multidisciplinary event! Following the inauguration of this 10th Christmas Box, the prize ceremony for the 30th-anniversary contest Art Trail in Shop Windows will take place, in partnership with Esprit Commerces Nord-Doubs. The winner will receive a work by an artist who has marked the history of Le 19, produced in collaboration with the Hérilab of Héricourt’s media library.
To close the evening and in resonance with the exhibition Zones of (non)being, Le 19 also welcomes “Novices, Mutable Trajectories”, a performance by the Kif Dance company.
At the heart of the stage, a blurred, unidentified body questions norms, prejudices, and preconceptions. In search of its identity, it absorbs surrounding images to arrive at a unique existence in the world — far from categorizations and stereotypes…

The Christmas Box exhibition will be visible from December 6, 2025, to January 4, 2026, from the square outside Le 19, Crac, day and night!

✱ Friday, December 5, 2025, from 6:30 PM
