Paris footballer Mbappé pumps up art for kids

The PSG and France striker Kylian Mbappé has launched an ‘artistic, participatory and immersive project’ through his KM foundation at the Philharmonie de Paris concerthall complex.

The initiative, involving 20,000 children, is the brainchild of Paris-based American artist Rachel Marks.

She outlines the project as a ‘monumental installation, a living ecosystem, trees that share the same roots to speak of diversity and the relationship between nature and humanity. Concretely, the work will consist of five trunks with intertwined roots, between which the public will be able to wander “to see and hear all the voices of the world”.’

The installation will reach fruition before the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
