Collisions Urbaines

The event – ‘Collisions Urbaines’ or ‘Urban Collisions’ – will involve various urban art performances, including electronic music, modern dances and street art.

A jam-packed weekend is to be expected at Lyon Arts Dance Center (LADC)  and its outdoor spaces, where the festival will take place. 18 graffiti artists will be taking over the walls of the LADC to celebrate street art. There will also be 23 DJs across three days and two nights. Information about the foodtrucks and other happenings will be released soon.

Celebrating Superposition’s 3rd Birthday

The series of performances celebrates Superposition’s 3rd birthday. The association organises many cultural activities that celebrate urban art. Superposition also recently opened an open-air museum in the 2nd arrondissement, which offers a rich cultural program, open to all. The program includes concerts, DJs, permanent exhibitions, and workshops on graffiti, pottery, and other art forms.
