Broder Villeurbanne: A Creative Way to Preserve the City’s Heritage

Villeurbanne, September 16, 2023 – In collaboration with @Jenbrode, we are excited to announce a unique opportunity for residents and visitors of Villeurbanne to participate in a creative project. We invite you to join us in embroidering reproductions of vintage postcards featuring iconic buildings from Villeurbanne’s past, sourced from the archival collection at Rize.

On Saturday, September 16, 2023, the event will be open daily from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm and from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. This initiative aims to engage people of all ages and backgrounds, fostering a sense of community and appreciation for the city’s rich history.

The project is open to the public, and there is no cost to participate. Whether you are an experienced embroiderer or a beginner, this is an excellent opportunity to learn new skills and contribute to the preservation of Villeurbanne’s cultural heritage.

The Rize archives hold a vast collection of historical documents, photographs, and postcards that provide valuable insights into the city’s development over the years. By embroidering these postcards, participants will not only create beautiful works of art but also help raise awareness about the importance of preserving our collective memory.

Embroidery has long been regarded as a traditional craft, passed down through generations. This project seeks to revive this art form and give it a contemporary twist by incorporating elements of Villeurbanne’s history. It is a chance to celebrate the city’s unique identity and showcase its architectural heritage.

Whether you choose to embroider a postcard featuring the iconic City Hall, the majestic Grand Theatre, or any other significant building, your contribution will be a testament to the love and pride we have for Villeurbanne.

So mark your calendars and join us on September 16th at the Rize archives. Let’s come together as a community to celebrate our city’s past and create a lasting legacy for future generations. Remember, creativity knows no bounds, and with a needle and thread in hand, we can stitch together the fabric of Villeurbanne’s history.

How does the Broder Villeurbanne initiative engage residents and visitors in preserving the city’s cultural heritage?

.

Broder Villeurbanne is a community initiative aimed at preserving the city’s heritage through embroidery. By recreating vintage postcards, we are able to celebrate and remember the iconic buildings that have shaped Villeurbanne’s history.

Partnering with @Jenbrode, a renowned embroidery artist, we have gathered a collection of vintage postcards from the archives at Rize, Villeurbanne’s cultural center. These postcards showcase the beauty and architecture of the city in bygone eras, providing us with a glimpse into the past.

We believe that by engaging in this creative project, residents and visitors of Villeurbanne can actively contribute to the preservation of the city’s cultural heritage. Embroidery is not only a form of self-expression, but it also allows us to connect with the past and appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating these postcards.

Participating in Broder Villeurbanne is simple. Just visit one of our designated locations, where you will find embroidery kits along with the vintage postcards. Using the provided materials and instructions, you can start recreating these iconic images with your own unique flair. Whether you are a seasoned embroiderer or trying it out for the first time, this project is for everyone.

Need some inspiration? Join our workshops hosted by @Jenbrode, where she will share her expertise and guide you through the embroidery process. These workshops are a great opportunity to learn new techniques and meet other like-minded individuals who share a passion for preserving Villeurbanne’s heritage.

Once you have completed your embroidery, we encourage you to display it proudly in your home or gift it to a loved one. The stitched postcards serve as meaningful mementos that not only showcase Villeurbanne’s history but also the creativity of its inhabitants.

In addition, we will be organizing an exhibition to showcase the embroidered postcards and share the stories behind each building. This exhibition will not only highlight the talent and effort put into the project but also educate visitors about the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.

Broder Villeurbanne is not just about embroidery; it is a collective effort to protect the city’s heritage and ensure that future generations can appreciate its beauty. By immortalizing these historic buildings through art, we are able to create connections between the past, present, and future.

So, whether you’re a local resident or a visitor passing through, we invite you to join us in this creative endeavor. Let’s come together and preserve Villeurbanne’s unique heritage one stitch at a time.
