La Station - Gare des Mines, built on the remains of a disused coal station at Porte d’Aubervilliers, is home to an dynamic musical, artistic, and cultural third space, and a constellation of initiatives by established artists and inspired neighbours.

Since it opened, La Station - Gare des Mines has become a venue for broadcasting, creation, and residency, with a diverse programme based on the transformations in contemporary artistic practices. Located opposite la Parcelle, on the edge of the Paris périphérique, at the intersection of Paris, Saint-Denis, and Aubervilliers, the Gare des Mines building was originally a coal station built in 1945. The Collectif MU, a not-for-profit organisation that had been based in the Goutte d’Or (Paris 18th arrondissement) since 2002, opened the doors of La Station to the public in June 2016. La Station organises itself organically, swiftly, and spontaneously, bringing together resident artists, collectives, and local organisations.

La Station showcases an emerging art scene that is often limited to less visible venues, weaving together art, sound, music, and performance, while paying particular attention to minorities (gender, exiles). In 2017, it also launched StationStation, a dynamic online radio station that brings together nearly a hundred independent producers.
