Let's celebrate and honor our struggles at Burning Festival

This weekend will be all about celebration, art, and activism. And for good reason: the Burning Festival is back for its 5th edition at Point Éphémère. What is Burning? A collective and festival that stands out, breaks the rules, and shakes things up. Through a multitude of events (from concerts to talks, including stand-up, tattoo sessions, exhibitions, and even a conscious marketplace) the festival showcases all the beauty, richness, and diversity of the feminist, queer, and radical artistic scene.

Supporting Palestine at Del Carmen Café

The dream team of Bake Sale For Palestine is back in Paris, this time at the heart of Del Carmen Café in the 11th arrondissement, for a Sunday that's as delicious as it is committed. From 11am to 4pm, volunteers are waiting for Parisians with an array of sweet and savory treats, coffee, tea, as well as a selection of posters and books from the Levant and Palestinian products. An opportunity to talk about Gaza and the West Bank, to support Palestine and share a warm and solidarity moment, blending gastronomy, culture and activism.

Taking a nap while listening to poetry at Buttes-Chaumont

As summer gently takes its leave, treat yourself to a break from the hustle and bustle

illon of back-to-school season to celebrate a gentle autumn beginning with Poésieste. Back on the lawn of Buttes-Chaumont park, this event promises to intoxicate us with love, hope, and melancholy. The recipe stays the same: for a Sunday afternoon, we come to nap, doze, listen to beautiful verses or read some ourselves, whether they're from our own pen or not. A little tip: bring your pillow or a cozy throw blanket to get comfortable and let your imagination wander.
