The Eiffel skatepark was inaugurated on June 6, 2024, just 50 days before the start of the Paris 2024 Games. Located in front of SPOT24, it even sports and urban cultures and is part of the legacy of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Presented for the first time in France at SPOT24 from 23 August 2024, the work ‘Got the Power: Hip Hop 50 Boombox‘ is the latest in Bayeté Ross Smith's ‘Got the Power: Boombox’ series of sculptures. In this sculpture, Ross Smith pays homage to the French hip hop community and celebrates over 40 years of hip hop in France, while highlighting the controversial history of the sugar and cotton industries and their impact on the world today. The cultural production of the project was led by artist Bayeté Ross Smith and The Californian Agency.
