"When Basketball Inspire" - 21/11/2019
Collective exhibition organized by Trajectoire Studio, Paris.
Trajectoire Studio is a creative parisian studio that
produce artistic events to express and promote
sports culture. Democratize art through passion, create
meetings, talks and promoting responsibles sports are the
main values of the studio.
In january 2020 they invited me for their next exhibition in
the gallery,
When Basket-ball inspires.
We choose to create a basket-ball and a painting.
I choose to bring the mentality of the playground :
be competitive, ruffless in the game, hard work and work hard.
A mentality I learn and dream from my child and adult heroe,
Kobe Bryant. Basketball is my other passion since 13 years old.
Famous mentality that every basketball player purchase
or know.
So we create HIT 'EM UP.
I choose to bring that mentality with a cross with
woman conditions in our world. A woman/girl team,
true warrior because of that women faces everyday
no matter the age, color or culture. So, I made this badass
team, united and determined which no one could stop.
During the exhibition I met the others artists particulary
Kirrikou and Ari Kali, with we create an other exhibition later
the same year.
The last day of the show, after cleaning the event,
we learn that Kobe Bryant was dead. We were
devasted like it was someone from our family like
thousand of people feel.
WTF...
