Kaleidoscope has built a cult following thanks to its curatorial, interdisciplinary approach, so it’s only fitting then that the biannual magazine would be the perfect host for a festival featuring a mashup of multimedia talents. This weekend marks the return of the KALEIDOSCOPE Manifesto after a three-year hiatus (thanks, COVID). Curated by the publication's founder and art director Alessio Ascari in partnership with innovative e-tailer and resale platform GOAT, the four-day event is taking over Paris Fashion Week come Saturday with a stellar lineup of creatives across cultural disciplines. Be prepared for installations from the biggest names in contemporary art, including Sterling Ruby, Hajime Sorayama, H.R. Giger, and London's very own Mowalola. Soundtracking the weekend festivities is a variable lineup of performances by Lorenzo Senni, Anonymous Club, and L'Rain. There are also talks scheduled with creative heavy hitters like Supreme creative director Tremaine Emory and artist and writer Kandis Williams.

The Milanese publication has long been a platform that fosters a global community of creatives in its glossy pages, so it's only appropriate they would bring things IRL. The experimental and immersive event will be hosted at the Espace Niemeyer, also known as the French Communist Party headquarters, designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. For those lucky enough to be in Paris this weekend, the art installations are open to the public, and you can register for performances and talks on the Kaleidoscope website.
