Drag, tattooing, voguing, photography, thrift shops: five committed artistic communities meet at the Sphères Festival in Paris
The Sphères Festival comes to Paris on September 13 and 14, 2025 to celebrate five creative, young and committed communities: drag, voguing, tattooing, photography and thrift shops. For two days, this unique event highlights the counter-cultures that are reinventing our aesthetic codes and identities. The program includes a thrift and designer market by Minimaxxx, voguing workshops, talks by committed queer figures (Paloma, Fashion Quiche, Piche...), photo exhibitions by Marvin Bonheur, flash tattoos by Dodie, drag shows by Mascadrag, Ruby on the Nail, Sergueï... and a festive night of DJ sets by Sequence Crew & Nick V. A free and flamboyant festival in the heart of Paris.
