Five years ago, one of the oldest industrial buildings of Charleroi – ‘les Forges de la Providence’ – was saved from demolition being bought by two citizens: Thierry Camuy and Mika Hell. Together with some close friends and artists, they turned it into a place of alternative creation which became a symbol of renaissance and image rehabilitation for the whole region.
