DISCO
Philharmonie de Paris
221 Av. Jean Jaurès, 75019 Paris, France
February 14 – August 17, 2025
Born in the United States in the early 1970s, disco music quickly became a global phenomenon. Contrary to clichés, this exhibition does justice to the brilliance of this music, which is deeply rooted in the history and culture of black people in the United States, and is the heir to soul, gospel and funk. A collection of audiovisual archives, photographs, instruments and costumes highlights the political and festive dimension of this music, which brought different minorities and social classes to the dance floor, all united in the same hedonistic spirit. Accompanied by a soundtrack mixed by Dimitri from Paris, the exhibition focuses on the aesthetic that disco inspired among artists and designers.
