Chaze — Sndtrk1: A Graffiti Archive
Le Grand Jeu 15, passage de Ménilmontant, Paris, FranceSome books begin with a discovery. Forgotten negatives, found by chance, bringing back fragments of a life once lived.

From Harlem to the Bronx, her images follow a generation reshaping identity, […]

When T-Shirts Become Archives
Le Grand Jeu 15, passage de Ménilmontant, Paris, FranceSome archives are not built at once, but slowly assembled through years of looking, collecting, and remembering.

Journalist, editor and curator Eglée de Bure opens her personal archive in Roots Picnic Music […]

Thierry Maignan – Negroïde City
Le Grand Jeu 15, passage de Ménilmontant, Paris, FranceIn 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. Both intimate and […]
