**In 2025, to celebrate 20 years of collaboration between LaM and the Établissements Publics de Santé Mentale, the museum has delved into the archives of projects carried out with all the EPSMs in the Lille area
For many years, LaM has made it a point of honor to include all publics, both inside and outside its walls, especially those with disabilities. This collaboration has given rise to innovative experiments, such as the creation of exhibitions by EPSM patients, to promote access to culture, combat isolation and withdrawal, and restore self-esteem.
This documentary exhibition will look back at the genesis of this historic partnership through five themes: artistic residencies, artistic practice workshops and their outcomes, colloquia, study days and exhibitions, and finally professional accompaniment, as well as future prospects for this partnership.
Histoire à suivre will initially be presented at the EPSM Lille- Métropole-Armentières, then will travel to the EPSMs in Bailleul and Saint- André-lez-Lille. The exhibition will be complemented by conferences, professional training courses, guided tours and art workshops.
Friendly, creative moments will also be offered for professionals, users and visitors to get together over a coffee.
