SUMMARY:Beyond the Streets — Paris on the Walls
DESCRIPTION:Paris has never stopped speaking the language of graffiti. From metro lines to temporary walls\, the city has long been a playground for a culture shaped by urgency\, visibility and the desire to leave a trace. With Beyond the Streets\, that history takes on a new scale through a major exhibition dedicated to graffiti\, street art and underground culture. \nCurated by Roger Gastman\, Beyond the Streets Paris brings together more than one hundred international artists through installations\, rare archives\, photography\, fashion and large-scale works exploring the global impact of graffiti on contemporary art\, music and visual culture. Le Grand Jeu co-curated the exhibition’s hip-hop section\, working alongside Gastman to build a transatlantic narrative connecting the French and American scenes — from the foundational role of hip-hop in shaping graffiti’s identity to the exchanges that tied New York and Paris across decades of shared practice. \nPresented at La Villette\, the exhibition moves beyond the idea of a traditional retrospective\, tracing how graffiti evolved from an underground practice into a major cultural force influencing art\, design\, music and public space. \n📖 Beyond the Streets Paris — Exhibition Announcement\n🗓 May 27 — August 30\, 2026\n📍 Grande Halle de la Villette\, Paris 19

SUMMARY:When T-Shirts Become Archives
DESCRIPTION:Some archives are not built at once\, but slowly assembled through years of looking\, collecting\, and remembering. Before culture became fully digitised\, memory often lived in magazines\, photographs\, mixtapes and personal objects — fragments that carried entire worlds within them. \nJournalist\, editor and curator Eglée de Bure opens her personal archive in Roots Picnic Music Festival\, Philadelphia — June 4\, 2016. The Day After Muhammad Ali’s Passing\, a new zine built around photographs taken at the Roots Picnic Festival in Philadelphia in 2016. Focused on the vintage T-shirts worn by festival-goers — from rap history to sports icons and cinema references — the work traces how cultural symbols circulate and reshape collective memory across generations. \nFor this launch at Le Grand Jeu\, Eglée de Bure presents the first chapter of an ongoing archival project\, moving between photography\, memory and cultural storytelling. \n📖 Zine Launch & Signing with Eglée de Bure\n🗓 Thursday\, June 18  | 🕓 From 6 PM\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:The City in Motion: Paris Ride Out
DESCRIPTION:Beyond its monuments and boulevards\, Paris is also a city of riders\, gathering spots and improvised routes. TARSTREETSPORTS: Paris Ride Out captures one of those moments when movement becomes a way of inhabiting the city. Set in a hidden Paris location\, the zine documents an evening where riders\, DJs and spectators came together\, transforming an ordinary space into a temporary landscape of motion\, sound and connection. \nProduced by TARSTREETSPORTS in collaboration with Bike City Kings and DJ RAF\, the project offers a documentary record of contemporary street culture. Through the black-and-white photographs of Ellis Dawg\, bodies\, bicycles and music unfold in real time\, revealing a scene built on participation rather than performance. \nLe Grand Jeu welcomes TARSTREETSPORTS for a presentation and signing session around Paris Ride Out. An opportunity to discover the publication\, explore the photographs\, and discuss the communities\, movements and encounters that inspired it. \n📖 TARSTREETSPORTS: Paris Ride Out — Presentation & Signing Session\n🗓 Friday\, June 19| 🕓 From 5h30PM\n📍Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:When Letters Meet – Skript Letter Jam #4
DESCRIPTION:In a moment when graphic cultures increasingly overlap without fully meeting\, Skript Letter Jam #4 explores what happens when the culture of the letter becomes a shared space rather than a separate practice. Typography\, calligraphy\, graffiti and letter painting are brought together not as a comparison\, but as a live encounter between gestures\, rhythms and forms. \nLed by artist and typographic practitioner Frank Wuko\, the project focuses on the act of drawing the letter as a collective language. Instead of presenting finished works\, it highlights process\, improvisation and the dialogue that emerges when different writing practices intersect. \nThe Librairie Le Grand Jeu hosts a live jam session bringing together typographers\, calligraphers\, graffiti writers and letter painters. Working on a shared large-format surface with water\, participants create traces that appear\, overlap and gradually disappear\, turning the space into a constantly evolving field of experimentation. \n📖 Skript Letter Jam #4 — Talk & live letter jam (typography\, calligraphy\, graffiti\, lettering)\n🗓 Saturday\, June 20 |🕓 From 3PM📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Thierry Maignan - Negroïde City
DESCRIPTION:In Paris\, some presences are constant yet rarely centered — visible in everyday life\, but still pushed to the margins of dominant narratives. Negroïde City begins from this tension. Through a series of black-and-white photographs\, Thierry Maignan traces a lived city shaped by bodies\, gestures\, and movements that quietly redefine its landscape. \nBoth intimate and political\, the book develops a direct photographic language stripped of anecdote and spectacle. Faces\, postures\, and fragments of urban life emerge with clarity\, forming a visual narrative that questions visibility\, memory\, and postcolonial legacy. At its core\, Negroïde City is a gesture of reappropriation — of the gaze\, of representation\, and of language itself. \nLe Grand Jeu invites you to the launch of Negroïde City in the presence of Thierry Maignan. An evening to encounter the work beyond the page\, engage with the artist’s perspective\, and reflect on how images can shift what a city reveals — and what it chooses to conceal. \n📖 Negroïde City — Book Launch & Signing with Thierry Maignan🗓 Friday\, July 3rd | 🕓 from 6PM📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Off the Rails — Graffiti\, Trains & the Underground City
DESCRIPTION:After a fifteen-year-old boy discovers a graffiti blackbook\, his eyes are opened to an unseen city. As his interest in rugby league fades\, he finds himself drawn to spray cans\, a camera\, and the abandoned buildings\, rooftops and active train tunnels of Sydney. In its forgotten spaces\, he encounters a community who see the city as he does — not just as a place to live\, but as a place of immense beauty\, above and below. \nOff the Rails is the debut novel by Jet Williams — Sydney-based writer\, artist and urban explorer. For this evening at Le Grand Jeu\, Jet will present the book and open a conversation about Australian graffiti culture\, freight train writing\, and the underground landscapes that shaped it. The evening will also include a screening of an unreleased documentary on Sydney’s underground scene\, directed by filmmaker and creative partner Max Dona. \nRegistration is open — reserve your spot here. \n📖 Off the Rails — Book Talk & Signing with Jet Williams\n🗓 Thursday\, July 4th | 🕓 from 3PM\n📍 Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11

SUMMARY:Before It Dries While It Lasts — Writing\, Water & Disappearance
DESCRIPTION:Before It Dries While It Lasts is an experiment in writing as a temporary act — stripped of its usual claim to permanence. Working with water\, Edoardo Baraggioli creates wall interventions that evaporate over time\, questioning mark-making\, duration and disappearance within the field of graffiti. \nFor this evening at Le Grand Jeu\, Edoardo will present his fanzine and screen documentation of his practice\, followed by a participatory workshop: visitors are invited to intervene directly on the walls around the bookshop using water vaporizers — a collective experience that is at once performative and photographic. \n Before It Dries While It Lasts — Zine Launch\, Signing and Vaporizers Workshop with Edoardo Baraggioli Thursday\, July 16th |  from 6PM Le Grand Jeu\, 15 passage de Ménilmontant\, Paris 11
