American artist Alison Saar (born 1956) has been chosen to create the Olympic sculpture in Paris, which will be inaugurated on 23 June 2024.
Born into a family of Los Angeles artists, Alison Saar's work deals with issues of justice and compassion, honouring people who have been under-represented and marginalised in the past, or continue to be so today.
At the invitation of WE LOVE GREEN, students from the 'Fresco & Art in Situation' course at the Beaux-Arts de Paris are presenting a series of installations, sculptures and performances at the festival.
Drawing on the history of funfairs, rave parties and parks and forests, Tourne sol is a caroussel-cadran housing five chimeric creatures: a shamanic scarecrow, a strangling fig tree, a spiral shell, a media chimera and a mysterious beehive. All created in raw wicker, they are also linked together by a string of lights.

Penda Diouf is passionate about writing and the intimacy that live performance can create between hitherto unknown people, and enjoys writing about forgotten or invisible stories. The question of identity and exile runs through her texts, as does the idea of care and reparation. The relationship between fiction and politics guides her artistic approach.
For the past 9 years, she has also been co-organising the "Jeunes textes en liberté" festival to support playwrights and promote a diversity of narratives, stories and forms.
