MON PETIT MUSÉE HIP-HOP
A MUSEUM TO EXPERIENCE, NOT JUST TO VISIT.
Mon Petit Musée Hip-Hop introduces children and teenagers to hip-hop and urban and popular cultures. Workshops, encounters, archives and shared experiences put young people at the heart of discovery, practice and creation.
HIP-HOP AT CHILDREN’S LEVEL
Hip-hop is a culture of creation, expression and transmission. It draws on many influences, borrows, transforms, invents and constantly reinvents itself.
But not every expression of hip-hop, conceived and created by adults, is necessarily intended for children. Mon Petit Musée Hip-Hop invites young people to discover this culture at their own level, without simplifying or diluting it, through curiosity, experimentation, play and the joy of discovery.
A record leads us to another kind of music. A sample reveals a forgotten melody, an instrument, an era. A dance move opens the door to another practice, another tradition. An image, a piece of graffiti or a photograph connects us to art history, cities and societies.
Starting with hip-hop, children discover other arts, histories and cultures. Through works, archives, objects, sounds and encounters, they explore connections between disciplines and make discoveries of their own.
A museum where children look, listen, handle, dance, question and have fun. Where one discovery leads to another. Hip-hop is the starting point. Curiosity is the playground.
THE MUSEUM MEETS YOUNG PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE.
