🎨 Discovery of the Centre Pompidou’s Space for Teenagers and Young Adults at the Gaîté Lyrique: Studio 13/16

Jan 14, 2027 | 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Description

The Centre Pompidou presents Studio 13/16, its space dedicated to teenagers and young adults. A laboratory for artistic and social creation and reflection designed with contemporary artists, it offers an original programme of workshops and collective artistic experiences that resonate with current affairs. Since April 2026, during the renovation of the Centre Pompidou, the Studio has been based at the Gaîté Lyrique, a cultural venue in the heart of Paris committed to creation and engagement, with which it shares the values of hospitality, knowledge sharing and cooperation. In a 400 m² space, it is experimenting with new formats for encounters and creative engagement for young adults. The visit will offer a discovery of the space, how it works and its current programme, “Votre attention svp !” (Your attention, please!). Distraction, procrastination, mental overload: as our attention is constantly in demand, this programme turns inefficiency, laziness and inattention into drivers of creation, and invites young people to let their minds wander. It brings together artists Abbas Zahedi, Léa Dumayet, Gwendal Coulon and Chloé Desmoineaux, as well as the Nouvelle Génération department of the Bibliothèque publique d’information. A peer exchange will follow, to discuss the questions raised by the space and its engagement formats. The Studio 13/16 team will share their hands-on experience of working with young audiences. This visit will be bilingual (French / English).
