Les Vraies Demoiselles d’Avignon

Les vraies demoiselles d’Avignon (2018) is a collaborative, educational and participative installation. As part of the exhibition From Africa to the Americas: Face-to-Face Picasso, Past and Present, we launched a call on our social networks by inviting its communities of female artists to produce a photograph in dialogue with the iconic work Les demoiselles d’Avignon by Pablo Picasso (1907)

Inspired by the concept of the original painting, the palette of colors with an artistic approach, Our team and the 6 selected artists engage in dialogue with the iconic work of Pablo Picasso from a feminine point of view, through the medium of photography (analog and digital) as well as digital collage. Their respective artistic vision is illustrated through the various subjects addressed: from the relationship of the artist and the model to the concepts of exoticism, fetishism through representation in art. Thanks to its innovative concept, the installation Les Vraies Demoiselles d’Avignon (2018) seen by women highlights a new generation of female artists evolving in the local scene and whose artistic approach is crying out for authenticity.
