The cultural space L’Aiguillage will host the group exhibition SHEROES.1 from March 28 to April 24, 2026, as part of the celebration for International Women's Rights Day.
This multimedia exhibition brings together around fifteen female and male artists who aim to highlight underrepresented women from various eras, cultures, and life stories.
Through contemporary artworks, workshops, and opportunity for dialogue, the project invites visitors to explore the concept of heroine, whether ordinary or extraordinary, within a space dedicated to artistic creation and conversations around feminism.
Experience the exhibition firsthand at the opening event on Friday, March 27, 2026, starting at 6 PM.
The SHEROES.1 project showcases a diverse collection of female figures from different eras, representing a variety of cultures and social backgrounds. Some of these women have been stigmatized, erased from history, or left out of mainstream narratives, while others were marginalized because of their ethnicity, social status, or disabilities.
Approximately fifteen artists, both female and male, are dedicated to exploring these journeys through various artistic mediums. Visitors are invited to experience a diversity of visual and storytelling expressions, offering multiple perspectives on these life paths.
The fields showcased may include:
Each piece offers a unique perspective on exploring the concept of female heroism and the role women play in shaping collective stories.
