Vivendi Sponsors the Bons Baisers de P�kin Exhibition at the Guimet National Museum of Asian Arts in Paris

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Vivendi (Paris:VIV) is proud to support the exhibition �Bons Baisers de P�kin� organized by Beijing's Yishu 8 Arts Center, to be held at the Guimet National Museum of Asian Arts in Paris for four months from October 19, 2022 to February 27, 2023. This exhibition retraces a decade of Franco-Chinese cultural exchanges by recreating the Yishu 8 environment, mixing the French art of living, Chinese traditions and contemporary creations.

� Supporting this exhibition, and through it, the remarkable work from Yishu 8, a residency for Chinese and French artists in Beijing, was an obvious choice for our Group�, explains Yannick Bollor�, the Chairman of Vivendi�s Supervisory Board. �We strongly believe in the importance of creation in all its forms as a driver of development and progress; we even made it our raison d��tre: Creation Unlimited. Yishu 8 is a particularly dynamic incubator for artistic projects and a suitable place to foster cultural and business exchanges between France and China�.

Each year, Beijing�s Yishu 8 Arts Center welcomes three French laureates, offering them a chance to immerse themselves in Chinese culture and nourish their work with new influences. In parallel, at the Yishu 8�s initiative, several Chinese artists are invited to stay at the Cit� Internationale des Arts in Paris to dive deep into French culture. �Bons Baisers de P�kin� features 20 artists, all Yishu 8 Award winners, 13 French and 7 Chinese.
