What does it mean for Paris to function not only as a place, but as an idea—one that continues to shape artistic imagination, migration, and validation within the art world?

Bringing together perspectives across generations and practices, this conversation reflects on the symbolic and practical role of Paris in contemporary art history. From lived experience and conceptual practice to cultural mediation and institutional dialogue, the talk explores how artistic trajectories are influenced by geography, aspiration, and the shifting centers of cultural authority.

Rather than confirming or contesting a myth, the discussion opens a space to examine how such narratives are formed—and how they continue to circulate within today’s global art landscape.
