The current exhibition

Sylvie Barco "Du mur au skate" (From wall to skateboard)

Plastic photographer Sylvie Barco creates street art on the walls of every city she visits. From August 13 to November 4, 2024, she is exhibiting a multiple installation at SPOT24, at the crossroads between photographs, frescoes and objects with skateboarding as its central subject. For SPOT24, she has created a multiple installation, combining photographs, frescoes and video to present a Paris in perpetual movement, social and a symbol of diversity thanks to skateboarding, a discipline that challenges gender stereotypes and diversity.
