Standing at the entrance of the Freestyle Festival and reflected in the Geode, PARABOLID seeks to capture and transmit multiple signals—from a multicoloured past toward an artificial, “hypnocratic” future…

A collective experience in the archaeology of technology, PARABOLID reexamines various “unsightly” elements of the urban environment. It is part of “a society of the moment, of events, of mutation and the ephemeral […]”, reminding us that “art is a complex structure of communication, expression, discovery and invention” (Carlos Cruz-Diez, 2013).

An educational partnership between the Fresco & Art in Context programme at Beaux-Arts de Paris and the Freestyle Festival/La Villette.

The gigantic construction game, Bloom Games, allows participants to take over urban spaces and unleash their imagination. More than 1,500 interlocking pieces are available to create a collective, evolving, and participatory artwork. The infinite possibilities make it a unique piece at every new installation. The flexible and durable plastic material allows for the creation of rounded shapes, tunnels, and other nature-inspired forms.

The arrival of sunny days is perfect for festive gatherings, offering families lively green lawns where it’s great to stroll, have fun, and consume without limit! But… who is hiding behind the crowd? What abominable monsters lurk in the shadows, which we refuse to see? What if these creatures joined the party? It’s time to meet the secret world of our trash bins!

Designed from waste and recycled materials by DIY artist and musician Thomas Suire, the costume-making workshop will be co-hosted by comic book artist Dav Guedin, and will culminate in a costume parade: The Ball of Trash!

A key element of urban and underground culture, graffiti can be a strong symbol in the universe and identity of artists… The artist Zaek invites children to discover this art with markers and create their own blaze.

Poiskoï revisits two fabulous fish: the Koi carp and the catfish.

Let your imagination run wild and take home a unique work of art.
