At its heart is a striking and deeply moving poster by artist Maxime Parodi, whose work has long captured the spirit and complexity of queer identity.
The piece brings together an extraordinary constellation of figures who have shaped LGBTQIA+ history and culture, including Magnus Hirschfeld, Suzy Solidor, Jean-Luc Verna, Jean Cocteau, Jean Marais, Marie-Paule Belle, Santa, as well as beloved local icons Miss Koka and Cathy Café.

Together,
they form not just a tribute, but a powerful reminder: queer history in
Nice is rich, vibrant—and still waiting to be fully told.
