“Women Changing India”, The Exhibition in Petit Palais, Paris

A must see : “Women Changing India“. It’s a very moving exhibition full of promise about the status of women in India. 108 pictures shot by Magnum Photos‘s photographers : Olivia Arthur, Martine Franck, Raghu Raï, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Alex Webb and Patrick Zachmann. They have each chosen and shown a different topic, to discover how women contribute to “change the world”. And we discover stonished portraits of  active women and/or activists women. But all they have established themselves in Indian society, by their talent, determination and/or professional success, regardless of caste, age and difficulties. Some pictures are amazingly beautiful (like the Raghu Raï’s portraits) and the captions sometimes describe destinies that command respect. The short films are also very interesting. And we come out of this exhibition naively hopeful. Congrats! 

Till January 8 @ Petit Palais, Paris. womenchangingindia.pourunmondequichange.com

Antwerp: “Paper Fashion” Exhibition at MoMu, the Fashion Museum

Till August the 16th 2009, at the Antwerp Fashion Museum, MoMu: “Paper Fashion“. A samll museum with really refined exhibitions. Who’s ever known Tapa? Me absolutely not! Tapa is the pioneer of paper, made by the Ituri, Pygmy of Congo. Matter softer than Papyrus, painted by women under hallucinogenics. Wow! A resume of men history in an exhibition gathering pop art, artists, fashion designers, restoration of Japanese Edo era’s clothes etc… A real pleasure! The scenography is simple and fun. An eclectic walk in times and cultures for our eyes. « Light » as a sheet of paper! And for all like me who doesn’t read captions at exhibitions, enjoy reading the small booklet at a table outside, under the spring sunshine! Quick and interesting! MoMu: Nationalstraat28/B, 2000 Antwerp
