Musée: Maï Lucas: "New York Days" at Dashwood Projects
Wednesday, May 20, 2026
Maï Lucas’ New York Days is being shown at Dashwood Projects until the 25th May 2026. Lucas is a Franco-Vietnamese photographer based in Paris, working across art, fashion, and documentary photography. Since 1986, she has chronicled the emergence of French hip-hop culture, building close relationships with musicians, graffiti artists, and dancers central to the movement. Her monographs include Hip Hop Diary of a Fly Girl 1986–1996 Paris and All Eyes On Me. Having exhibited internationally since 2003, New York Days is her first solo exhibition in New York, forty years after her first visit to the city. This is a full circle moment for her work, as it returns to the place it was created. It is presented in collaboration with Speciwomen, the non-profit arts organisation supporting women and LGBTQIA+ artists.
