The Isopolis Gamma project, funded by the EU and the Réunion Region through the European Regional Development Fund, aims to promote innovation and resilience in La Réunion. Over 20 months, 5 parallel experiments engaged actors from civil society, businesses, public agencies, and the scientific community.

ISOPOLIS and the Institute of Research for Development (IRD) organized a seminar in November 22 to share insights, lessons learned and opportunities from these experiments.

To bring these narratives to life, we worked with 5 visual facilitators to create 5 large-scale murals (1 x 2 meters) within a tight one-month deadline. Each mural highlighted the experiment’s uniqueness while maintaining visual consistency.

I illustrated one of the experiments whose focus was to launch and develop a network of third places across the island. The process was exciting as it involved extensive collaboration among us 5 as visual facilitators, but also with the client and the project holders behind the 5 experiments. The resulting murals showcase diverse styles while aligning with ISOPOLIS’ values.
