Entitled Ce à quoi nous tenons (What We Stand For), the 2022 event references the text by ecofeminist philosopher Émilie Hache, Ce à quoi nous tenons (Propositions pour une écologie pragmatique), published by Éditions La Découverte in 2011. The question of ecology is central to this year's festival in that it is explored by contemporary artists and researchers, often in conjunction with feminism, the notion of struggle, and more broadly in relation to the emergence of new moral and political experiments. The question of hospitality (for the artists in residence, but also for the audiences of the cultural institutions) is also at the heart of the artistic project of ¡Viva Villa! 

The opening of the exhibition will be followed, again at the Collection Lambert, by a rich programme of concerts and performances, and then by a professional event organised in collaboration with the Région Sud - a forum allowing artists to meet with various cultural organisations to continue their artistic and research projects initiated during their residency.
