About Assahira
Since 2008, Assahira has been working in support of street arts and live performances in public spaces.
Based on a model of production, distribution, artistic support, and programming, the association supports projects that create a dialogue between artistic creation, social engagement, and cultural accessibility.
Our Mission
Assahira supports companies and artists from all backgrounds in the development, dissemination, and promotion of their shows.
We believe the street is a space for encounter, emotion, and artistic freedom.
Our goal: to foster connections between artists and audiences outside traditional frameworks, and to promote street arts both in France and internationally.
