JR is the first artist to be invited to the renovated Carré Sainte-Anne from June 27 to December 07, 2025
Born in Paris in 1983, JR began his career as a graffiti artist before rising to fame thanks to his photographic collage technique, exhibited in public spaces around the world. His monumental installations share a common mission: to amplify the voices of ordinary people and spark dialogue.
As part of JR?s "Adventice" exhibition, the city of Montpellier is inviting Montpellier residents to participate in the creation of a collective work of art.
Part of the work will be made up of printed hands of visitors. It's easy to leave your mark at Carré Sainte-Anne!
Print and cut out your hand and drop it off at one of our collection points (Hôtel de Ville reception hall, Hôtel de Métropole reception hall, Tourist Office) until June 15.
