In 2015, for the fourth consecutive year, Pick Up Production proposed an original project dedicated to graffiti, entitled Asia Riderz and organized as part of the Voyage à Nantes, in collaboration with the Nantes artist Kazy (Usclef). After Latin America in 2014 (Villa Ocupada), Asia was invited through ten artists from Japan, China, India and also France. On this occasion, the barge "La Lorraine", rehabilitated at the Esclain shipyards, was taken to the Saint-Félix basin, a stone's throw from the Lieu Unique. It is this boat that illustrators, graphic designers, painters or plastic artists, originating in Asia or strongly influenced by its aesthetics, have appropriated to realize, in situ, a collective exhibition. 32,000 people discovered the work of Kazy and Grolou (France), Sun Xun (China), Marion Jdanoff (France, Germany), Doppel, Baki Baki & Mon, Hamadamaka, Eru & Emu,Hideyuki Katsumata (Japan) and Priyesh Tridevi (India).
