When Kaleidoscope and Goat occupied the headquarters of the French Communist Party

Kaleidoscope and Goat, after a three-year hiatus, presented the new edition of KALEIDOSCOPE Manifesto in Paris, 25-28 June. Inaugurated during Men's Fashion Week, the festival took place in one of the most iconic places of modern architecture in the city: the headquarters of the PCF (French Communist Party), designed by the legendary Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. In this unique setting, KALEIDOSCOPE Manifesto brought together visionary artists and creators from different cultural disciplines in four days of musical performances, installations, lectures and workshops.

The exhibition featured installations by Sterling Ruby, Hajime Sorayama, H.R. Giger, Lee Scratch Perry, Mowalola, Guillermo Santomà, Pol Taburet and Sara Sadik; musical performances by Lorenzo Senni, Low Jack x Le Diouck, L'Rain, Anonymous Club, John Glacier and Pigbaby; video works by Korakrit Arunanondchai, Martine Syms, Tommy Malekoff, Meriem Bennani, Bunny Rogers and Jan Vorisek; workshops by Classic, Air Afrique and Armature Globale; lectures with Tremaine Emory and Kandis Williams; a pop-up café by Jah Jah; and more. The building was transformed into a dreamscape populated by imaginary creatures, negotiating the boundaries between man and machine, reality and fiction, contemplation and desire, in a unique event.
