Amitiés, Amours, Affinités (Friendships, Loves, Affinities)
2026 Programme of Maison Populaire art centre, Montreuil
Curated by Line Gigs & Fanny Testas

The Maison Populaire art centre is pleased to present its 2026 programme of exhibitions and events entitled “Amitiés, Amours, Affinités“, conceived as part of the curatorial residency of Line Gigs & Fanny Testas.

Since 1995, Maison Populaire has presented contemporary art exhibitions, with its programme entrusted each year to one or more curators-in-residence, invited to develop a personal curatorial approach and working hypothesis.

For its 2026 programme, whose first chapter will open on 20 January 2026, Maison Populaire is pleased to entrust its artistic direction to the invited curatorial duo Line Gigs & Fanny Testas.

Selected by a jury, they have been invited to conceive a cycle of three exhibitions, reflecting their process of research, experimentation and artistic production.

In addition, three artistic events will take place throughout the year in dialogue with the exhibitions — including Nuit Blanche on 6 June 2026.
