For 25 years, the Futur Composé association has connected young autistic people and artists from all backgrounds. The festival returns in June 2026 to shake things up through new musical creations and a major exhibition with rewards.
Art should never have barriers, and Futur Compé© reminds us of this through its festival. For this edition, a busy program awaits festival-goers, combining visual arts, music and cinema. The great strength of the event is its partnerships with fifty institutions which welcome people with autism spectrum disorders. By uniting art and disability, this collaboration works to democratize artistic practice.
The concerts
Music will take up residence at Point Éphémère on June 12. Co-produced with Rock en Seine, the Collab du Futur evening brings together the cold wave group Gwendoline and three young talents from the network: the beatmaker Raphaël, the singer Gaspard and the poet Rudy Meskine for the creation of a new project. The Cave de Cristal duo composed of guitarist Julien Bancilhon (also editor-in-chief of I’m a pothead) and Etienne Clément (lyric singer and keyboardist) then Radio Ça Va Aller (collaboration between Radio Station Station and Maison Perce-Neige) complete this programming.
Suspicious Package
From June 9 to 21, the festival will highlight its visual dimension through the 5th edition of the Colis Suspect exhibition, the opening of which will take place on June 10. How it works is simple: the collective sends boxes with an object to organizations that house people diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. This year, the association sent a mysterious faceted cube.
Five months later, participants return dozens of works born from this common inspiration through different formats. There is free participation, without constraints of format or number, the solo artist formula to promote an individual talent, and that of associated artist to create alongside a professional (animation, engraving, comics).
Scenographer Manon Grandmontagne will then orchestrate these creations for an exhibition open to all and free. The event will be held at Galerie 59 Rivoli. A jury will award the prizes to the most notable works. This year, it is the actress Pauline Clément, a resident of the Comédie-Française who will chair the jury. Like her predecessors, she will also take part in the famous live interview by the newspaper teamThe PapotinJune 11.
The awards ceremony
All these beautiful people will meet at the Majestic Bastille cinema for the awards ceremony on June 20. The list honors the artists who participated in Galerie 59 Rivoli with several specific prizes rewarding their creations: a screening in Paris with the Dulac cinemas for the video category, a variation in fashion objects by the Japanese company Heralbony for the solo artist, as well as the public award.
