A Sunday in town, one day for living together

Projection debate Thursday, 16 June at 7pm Projection of the documentary "A Sunday in Wellington" 
realized by Chloé Ledoux and Nicolas Brikké

followed by a meeting with
Yannick Blanc, Fonda's President

The Pavillon de l'Arsenal and "Un Dimanche à..." invite you at 4 evenings projection-debate around the documentary series "A Sunday in..." which is a documentary series that shows what brings people together in different cities around the world and how to claim back public space.

What do people do when they are not working ? What can cities do to occupy its citizens’ free time and get them to meet in public spaces ? Because Sunday is the resting day in most countries around the world, it is an important day in the life of a city. Therefore Sunday is an interesting prism to talk about interaction, social links and, ultimately, about the sense of « living-together » in an urban society where loneliness is a big issue.
