On the occasion of the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Lafayette Anticipations and Ateliers Médicis invite ebb.global to co-produce an extraordinary project with 40 students from the Lycée Alfred Nobel in Clichy-sous-Bois. Their visions, reflections on a disrupted or ideal world, unfold throughout the spaces in the form of a « Fun Fair », an innovative theme park.

Transformed into an immersive "gamified" experience, this game takes the form of films, installations, or novel objects that invite the visitor to become a user. This journey is built around the theme of sports, the result of a carte blanche given to the imaginations and desires of these young individuals, and it evolves with their creations produced in collaboration with the ebb.global studio and artist Neil Beloufa over several months.

A surreal and effervescent vision, the « Fun Fair » delves into the concerns, dreams, perspectives, and realities of this youth that envisions – and creates – new sporting practices, introduces new rules of the game, or draws inspiration from unique sports journeys.

In the background, different perspectives on sports, its discipline, its codes, and its valuese merge. Their visions are presented within a setting that reimagines the entertainment industry's conventions while they reclaim these "dream machines" that are theme parks.

For this year's Atelier en Résidence, Lafayette Anticipations is working with artist Neïl Beloufa to produce an exhibition in the form of a fun fair which is conceived and designed with students from the Lycée Nobel in Clichy-Sous-Bois. In order to provide the students with the best possible support in the creative process, they will do an internship at the Fondation to spend time with each department, as well as in the artist Neïl Beloufa's workshops where some of the attractions are being designed and produced.
