- Multi-site exhibition in the two neighborhoods and in the Jean-Moulin-Les Guilands park.
In summer 2022, during the Cour Carrée summer station and with Au Milieu, young people from La Noue and La Capsulerie came together across the two neighborhoods to take black and white photos and interview people who play sports: athletics at the Guilands stadium, basketball and soccer at the City, boxing at the Guy Toffoletti community center.
For them, sport is everywhere in the neighborhood: “it’s what stays with everyone who’s struggling, you don’t need much to do it”. They chose the photos, described them and sometimes made up stories from them, “but even in the imaginary there’s always something true, because we always start from a point in reality to invent”.
The XPO olympique de Bagnolet went up in the two neighborhoods and in the Jean-Moulin-Les Guilands park, with QR codes to listen to the interviews.

L’entraide : sport national au quartier
In the neighborhood, people help each other… When a little one is struggling, a big one is there for him. And even when he isn’t struggling, he tries to guide him in life. That’s a chain we try to keep going between everyone in the neighborhood. A chain that weaves bonds of solidarity and brings the community of the estate together.

Athlé
The field where everyone dreams of taking part. It gives you a lot of strength, but young people often can’t be bothered.

Le City
The City is a legendary place in La Noue. It has been there for decades. It stands for the freedom of sport, like soccer and basketball. It is a place for new encounters, but also for incredible, unforgettable moments. Long live the City! Long live sport! And long live La Noue!

La force du terrain
Let me describe the photo: the person you can see is Mouhtar, a youth worker! Then you can see the basketball hoop and the goals. Way at the back, there are ping-pong tables.
Le petit terrain
This photo reminds us that sport is for every age. Young or old, fast or slow, bad or good. Whatever the sport and the level, everyone can do it!

Boxing Toffoletti Club
At Toffoletti, as you come in, you hear the sound of punches. Thud, thud, in the back room. Through the hallways and the center’s kitchen, you reach Toffo’s den of sport. Here people box, push, dance. At the end of training, we get some air, going out through the back door.

Le meilleur dribbleur de la Caps
No, just kidding, he’s the worst dribbler in the Caps. We’ll have to cheer him on for later! All the best to this dear young man!

The group on the left looks scared of the group on the right. Apparently, they have never played basketball. Don’t trust appearances: the group on the left beat a tougher team.
