Photo exhibition by Maï Lucas: Hip-Hop Story
From September 12 to March 8, 2025 in the Hall de l'Estive, Foix

Opening reception on Thursday September 12 at 18 p.m.

Since their emergence in the 1980s, hip-hop artists have sought to exist differently, to invent visible and catchy styles to assert themselves in society. They create new norms, in a certain non-violent indocility. Dance, rap, graffiti, street dance, krump, DJing... are all artistic gestures carrying this rebellious and unifying impulse. The photos of Maï Lucas, who photographed the genesis of this movement in France, are located between testimony and the aesthetic act. Witness to the first movement of hip-hop culture in France, she participated in it by capturing the energy of this youth in full creative and festive overflow. It's her way of being outside with others, of catching their allure, their joys, their inventiveness, their sadness too. From Paris to New York, his objective is to meet those who are paving the way for hip-hop, in its diversity, spreading this culture throughout the world.

Maï Lucas has been exhibiting her photos for over twenty years, while continuing her work for fashion and the media.

Her book, Diary of a fly girl, released in 2022 and already in reissue, will be the subject of a dialogue with her during the opening of the exhibition.
