Nuit Blanche 2026: Indigenous voices to hear at the Frans Krajcberg Space

Published by Laurent de Sortiraparis · Updated on May 26, 2026 at 10:06 a.m.
For Nuit Blanche, the Espace Frans Krajcberg will host a poetic and sonic performance centered on Indigenous storytelling, featuring Yuwey Henri and Trudruá Dorrico, free to attend on June 6, 2026.

Nuit Blanche is a big, free evening stroll through Paris to discover works, performances and venues that are sometimes opened up in a different way, on Saturday, June 6, 2026. At the Espace Frans Krajcberg, the 15th‑arrondissement’s contemporary Art & Nature center, the night takes on a calmer, more intimate mood with Elobolo molo waïpɨnaï... (That’s where I learned to love myself...), a sound project by Yuwey Henri, and Notre mots-histoires, a poetic performance by Trudruá Dorrico, to be experienced from 6 p.m. to midnight. Audiences will hear Indigenous voices, love stories, languages and histories rarely encountered on the streets of Paris.

This choice of venue is no accident, as the Espace Frans Krajcberg already carries a history rooted in memory, in landscapes, and in life. Nestled at the far end of the Montparnasse path, this discreet site is devoted to the work of Frans Krajcberg, the Brazilian artist of Polish origin who was at once a sculptor, painter and photographer. Deeply marked by the destruction of landscapes and by the relationship between humans and nature, he built a body of work that is firmly engaged with the living. The center preserves part of the works he bequeathed to the City of Paris and today continues a program that explores art, the environment and the territories.

Against that backdrop, the evening proposed for Nuit Blanche 2026 takes on a more intimate hue. Yuwey Henri’s project, a poet and activist from the Kalin’a Tɨlewuyu nation, gives voice to love stories of Indigenous people living in the city. Trudruá Dorrico’s performance, a writer and researcher belonging to the Makuxi people, extends this listening with Brazilian Indigenous poems. A simple moment to experience during the night, one that you can leave with a few words in mind and voices we don’t usually hear.
