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: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:French Rap Tees — The Wardrobe of a Culture
DESCRIPTION:Before it hangs in a frame\, a scene lives on cotton. Long before French rap reached the museum\, it moved through the streets on the backs of those who built it — concert tees\, promo shirts\, bootlegs\, worn until they became documents in their own right. French Rap Tees\, the book by Driss Dendoune produced by mgh!\, gathers this overlooked archive: the garment as a record of a movement. \nThe book officially releases this October — but we’re celebrating it early\, because part of the collection it documents is on view right now inside Beyond the Streets. For one afternoon\, Le Grand Jeu takes this story into the show. We begin with a guided tour of the exhibition at La Villette\, then move to its bookshop — run by Sarah Andelman — for an exclusive drop of just 50 copies of French Rap Tees\, signed in the presence of two founding voices of the culture\, Solo and Manu Key. Dan of Ticaret joins us too\, to unveil the Ticaret × Beyond the Streets collaboration — an edition initiated by Le Grand Jeu. \n📖 French Rap Tees — Guided Tour\, Exclusive Drop & Signing with Driss Dendoune\, in the presence of Solo and Manu Key\n🗓 Friday\, July 10th | 🕓 2–7PM (tour) · from 5PM (drop & signing at the shop)\n📍 Beyond the Streets\, Grande Halle de la Villette\, Paris 19

SUMMARY:TEK — Techno\, Trance & Dance Music's Hidden History
DESCRIPTION:TEK — Une Histoire de la Techno is a traverse through the history of electronic dance music\, spanning from the early experiments of the Groupe de Recherche de Musique Concrète in the 1950s through psytrance\, jungle and the free party movement. Electronic music is everywhere now — in adverts\, concert halls\, supermarkets\, woven into rock\, rap\, pop\, and even jazz and swing. TEK traces how we got here\, mapping the evolution and reach of a culture shaped by technology\, repetition and the dance floor. \nThis Wednesday\, we’re celebrating the launch of a newly revised and expanded edition of the TEK fanzine. A long-running collaboration with Compagnie les Comploteurs (since 2020)\, TEK combines audio documentary\, fanzine and DJ-Conférence into a single compact\, accessible format. The new edition includes a previously unpublished chapter on the history of jungle and drum’n’bass\, an expanded bibliography and curated playlists for each musical genre explored. At 7:30 PM\, the DJ-Conférence — a live reworking of the text in sound and rhythm — will unfold for approximately thirty minutes. \n📖 TEK — Une Histoire de la Techno — Fanzine Launch with DJ-Conférence\n🗓 Wednesday\, July 15th | 🕓 from 7:30 PM\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. Secure your spot here! \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

SUMMARY:Out of Print — Two Days of Graffiti Print Culture
DESCRIPTION:Graffiti has always lived in print. Long before it entered museums\, the culture circulated on paper — magazines passed hand to hand\, fanzines photocopied in small runs\, catalogues that sold out and never came back. To collect these publications is to hold onto a history that was never really meant to last: printed cheaply\, traded freely\, and gone almost as soon as it appeared. \nOUT OF PRINT brings that history back into circulation for two days. Conceived as a graffiti and art book market — from collectors for collectors — it gathers publishers\, booksellers and independent sellers to present new releases alongside rare\, out-of-print and special publications. Books\, magazines\, fanzines\, exhibition catalogues\, DVDs\, VHS tapes\, stickers\, toys and prints: the full material culture of writing\, from established houses to self-published projects. A place to browse\, discover\, exchange\, and reconnect with titles that are long sold out\, hard to find\, or simply special. \nHeld in the hall of the “Kinderschutzbund” next to the St. Magni Church\, the market runs alongside the Colour & Soul Festival. Free entry for all. \n📖 OUT OF PRINT — Graffiti & Art Book Market\, From Collectors for Collectors\n🗓 Friday July 31st (Pre-Opening 5–8PM) & Saturday August 1st\, 2026 (11AM–6PM)\n📍 Hall of the “Kinderschutzbund”\, Hinter der Magnikirche 6A\, 38100 Braunschweig\, Germany
