this vintage poster showcases a unique "photomontage" collective artwork advertising "la fête du reg'art," a historic intercultural festival held on march 1, 1986.

organised at the grand auditorium of the musée d'art moderne de paris, the event served as a major bridge between deaf and hearing communities through the unifying power of performance.

the poster captures the energetic spirit of the french alternative theater scene and the bande dessinée (comic book) aesthetic of the era.

iconic french singer-songwriter maxime le forestier headlined the musical portion, accompanied by performer j. Moonens. The border features expressive, loose ink illustrations of mime emmanuel and performance art. Visually documenting this community are prominent photographers and activist-artists listed at the top left, including alain bommart, c. Bellavia, e. Kraut, and véronique abbou—a major deaf photographer who captured the era's sign language revival. Video installations by m. Debovska and g. De raynal are also cited.

styled manually using a cut-and-paste zine technique, the composition relies on an avant-garde three-colour palette—black, white, and red. The bold blocks of red command attention, anchoring the textual focal point celebrating the 1-year anniversary of le journal vu. See less
