RIDING THE OLYMPIC WAVE

A rich cultural programme, weaving in art, music and urban culture

Riding the Olympic Wave

17 MARCH 2022 - 5 MARCH 2023

RIDING THE OLYMPIC WAVE 


The Olympic Games echo and sometimes anticipate the trends and aspirations of society, constantly riding these new waves.


As such, six new sports and disciplines have been added to the programme of the Summer Games: 3x3 Basketball, BMX Freestyle, breaking, skateboarding, sport climbing and surfing.


“Riding the Olympic Wave” explores this evolution and presents these six sports and disciplines, together with their respective social, cultural and artistic contexts.
