Across France, a major exhibition is set up to bringcontemporary art and sport to life, with 13 different themes in the country's 13 administrative regions. In each region, an infrastructure or sporting event hosts its own exhibition, reaching out to a public far removed from museums and art centers, such as the 24-hour circuit in Le Mans or the nautical stadium in Pau.
In the Ile-de-France region, the Maison de la Conversation in Paris's 18th arrondissement will be showcasing multiculturalism from July 13 to September 9, 2024. In this free exhibition, the theme aims to highlight cultural and ethnic diversity, mixing works, mediums and notions that remain accessible to all, far from the elitism of a certain contemporary art.
Here, visitors are invited to wander freely between video projections, photographs and performances as they wish, without a rigid itinerary, to discover creations in dialogue with each other, in an immense cultural mosaic with no hierarchy. These 7 works coexist and exchange within the Maison de la Conversation, reflecting the complexity of human diversity, and providing an opportunity for spectators to forge links and meet each other, influenced by others.
