Adios Bahamas: 12/12 Across the City

In a city where walls remember more than archives, some images return to the street to restore what time tries to erase. Since 2021, the collective 12/12 has been creating twelve murals across Paris and its suburbs in tribute to the rapper Népal and his album Adios Bahamas. Born from grief and friendship, these works became a quiet map of the city, a place where memory, music, and public space speak to each other.

Published by Allary Éditions, the book brings together over two hundred photographs and short texts from Népal’s sisters, collaborators, and close artistic circle. It documents how each mural was imagined and executed, revealing an artistic process rooted in care, loyalty, and the desire to write a story directly onto the city.

On Thursday 18, members of 12/12 will be at Le Grand Jeu to present the book and revisit the journey behind these twelve murals. The discussion will blend images, anecdotes, and the backstage of a project built outside institutions: a moment to understand what it means to create for a city rather than for a gallery.
