Femininity - always celebrated, too often altered, more than ever decided - is the common thread running through the inaugural exhibition at Espace Art Absolument. Under the title Elles d'abord! it highlights women artists whose work expresses a desire to break with the conventions of representations of beauty and femininity to reclaim their own bodies and identities.
Coming from different generations and cultural and geographical backgrounds, the twenty or so artists on show consider these issues through a wide variety of narratives.
Some take a whimsical, transgressive approach to exploring the role of women in society, humorously denouncing all the diktats weighing down on their bodies, invisibilized or, on the contrary, overexposed.
Others use the body as an instrument of revolt, identity and racial protest, opting for narratives that oscillate between intimacy and provocation.
Beyond the pleasure or necessity of creating a persona, telling stories and reinventing oneself, these diverse proposals testify to an irrepressible need for freedom.

The exhibition addresses these issues through the themes of determination, beauty and fragility.
