This research explores the relation between art, well-being and infrastructures. It adresses the role and position of art and of research-creation in infrastructures.

The conference Populations and well-being: what role and what place for infrastructures?, held by KHEOPS in February 2019, demonstrated the importance of considering the well-being of communities  during an infrastructure project.
