What happens when a cultural venue opens its doors early? Hors-Cadre responds by experimenting.
From April to June 2025, Hors-Cadre inaugurated MansA’s spaces before the official launch. This early-opening phase was designed as a moment of experimentation: to introduce the venue, imagine its future uses, and establish a first tangible connection with the public.
Through a variety of formats — readings, screenings, workshops, exhibitions, debates — MansA became a space for encounters and artistic experimentation. The goal: to explore new forms of cultural hospitality, in a spirit of listening, proximity, and co-creation.
Upcoming Highlights
The Hors-Cadre program continues to evolve weekly, in dialogue with emerging energies and proposals. After the inaugural literary encounter around the novel Le Retour du roi Jibril, organized in partnership with Éditions de l’Iconoclaste, new events are currently being programmed.
Among these initiatives, a group exhibition will explore themes of memory, transformation, and filiation. Sessions on dance, body awareness, and well-being practices will invite visitors to reconnect sensitively. Pop-up stores will showcase designers from the African diaspora, while festive moments will celebrate the links between creation and engagement.
