Over the course of a single night, a convoy of cars carries intimate conversations on the representation of Black bodies in France. As voices emerge, clash, and converge from one vehicle to the next, a collective portrait unfolds in the darkness.

Kiddy Smile is a multidisciplinary artist working across sound, image, movement, and performance. His practice explores how communities create beauty, kinship, and possibility in the face of exclusion. Through music and art, he turns celebration into a radical act of imagination.
Jérémie Danon studied at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris and Le Fresnoy. Working across film, painting and contemporary art, he was invited to the 2024 Lyon Biennale. His work is held in major collections including the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris and Fondazione In Between Art Film.
