ENGAGÉES

Exhibition curators : Danièle Marcovici and Stéphane Baumet

Curatorial assistance and scenography : Laure Dezeuze – Studio Bloomer

 

In 2025, the Villa Datris Foundation invites you to discover the work of 64 committed artists from around the world, exhibiting works that question major contemporary issues.
Feminists, ecofeminists, human rights defenders, anti-racism activists and proponents of the freedom to dispose of their own bodies, the artists chosen take up struggles that are still essential today.

The exhibition highlights the invisibility of women and the persistence of their struggles, reminding us how crucial it is to preserve acquired rights.

ENGAGÉES also aims to raise awareness of the many battles still to be fought.

Long ignored and denied recognition, women artists have been dominated by patriarchal societies and eclipsed in art history.

It wasn’t until the social movements and feminist struggles of the 60s that they gained visibility both as artists and as women.

This legacy had a profound impact on the artists of the time and of subsequent generations, paving the way for greater consideration of their claims and their art.
