The revolution is underway

The world has changed and French culture, Western culture, is undergoing a profound crisis by dint of denying it. The result: ideological tensions, community withdrawals and culture wars.

What we took for granted is now outdated. We must invest ouverselves in the present. Let's question our collective ideas, all together and with respect for the ones who are different. This is precisely what artists do: let's listen to them!

With HIYA! we want to transform culture, to collectively build a world in which each person, in his or her singularity, can sublimate oneself.

HIYA! shakes the culture... But how?

Abdallah Slaiman, the creator of HIYA! explains it (in French)

Don't understand French or no time to listen?

In a few words :

HIYA! is a collaborative project born from a deep desire to respond to the absurdity of the world. It is by meeting and exchanging with artists that the project of this ecosystem was born. To create is to resist, it is also to connect.

Any change in civilization is accompanied by a transformation of culture. HIYA! opens spaces for creators to express themselves, to confront reality and to question us collectively through their work.

HIYA! is a cultural ecosystem that connects creators: physical events, online platforms, a media... in which culture is exchanged, debated and being different makes us stronger.

What do we offer?

Our cornerstones are: independence, quality and diversity.

With a double promise:

To give creators the tools to make a living from their work: they are the ones who make culture live and move forward.
To offer you, the public, a complete, ambitious and accessible cultural offer: because you are worth it.

The first stone of the cathedral we are building: the media of 21st century culture

On the web, on Instagram, in print, in video: its vocation is to relay the point of view and the creations of today's artists and citizens, relegated to the margins, but whose work questions our society, with force, intelligence and irreverence.

During the campaign and in the years to come, we will continue our work as intermediaries to highlight the culture of the 21st century: the messages of the street, the bridges that are being built and what is bubbling in the margins.

Created by artists, journalists and editorial writers, our productions mix styles and approaches, with sincerity of intent and originality of purpose as our compass.

See for yourself by visiting our website and on Instagram, if you haven't already!

But that's not all!

This crowdfunding is the opportunity to give a glimpse of what HIYA! will be tomorrow

We have great gifts, who put contemporary art within the reach of all.

Throughout the campaign, we will give a voice to creators, without any filter. This documentary series, "Carte Blanche" will be available on Youtube.

We also intend to launch very soon in publishing, cinema, music, communication, streaming... A world of possibility in which creators have the power!

HIYA! is a collective project

Behind HIYA! there is Abd al Malik, there is Abdallah Slaiman, but there are also many other people, especially artists. If you followed or were present at our block party, you'll know it.

If you want to know more about the artists of the collective: follow the media on the networks and subscribe to the YouTube channel. The "Cartes Blanches" are coming soon.

In addition to the artists, there are people who work daily to make the project live, in the editorial staff and among the team.

Want to know more about them? Go to HIYA.FR to read or see their portraits. During the first week of this campaign, they will be the ones to be honored, in "Cartes Blanches" text or video.
