In the early 1980s, Paris witnessed an unexpected artistic uprising. A new generation of painters, sculptors, and performers — fed by punk energy and impatience with institutions — took their art to the streets, turning walls, catacombs, and billboards into wild territories of expression.

Beneath the polished surface of contemporary graphic culture, another current is running, built from subconscious flashes, half-formed creatures, and the unruly energy of underground illustration.

Told by participant […]

Before Calligraffiti became a global language, there was just a kid from Amsterdam filling a black book with tags, outlines, and borrowed tricks from the masters. Shoe’s Black Book − Graffiti in the 1980s is the facsimile of that raw beginning: the years 1985–1987, when Niels Shoe Meulman learned, absorbed, imitated, failed, tried again — […]

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 […]

Some figures return like markers on a map: traces of where a culture first learned to move. In the mid-80s Paris HIP-HOP scene, graffiti, dance, and rap were one and the same.
