On the one hand, Norman women who have marked history but whose name has been forgotten, even invisibilized. On the other, the public space, with 3% of street signs bearing female names.
The collective of the Caen association in ELLES tackles these two problems by affixing 50 plaques of street names in the city center that light up women related to Normandy.
From the first woman magistrate Charlotte Béquignon-Lagarde to the Caen photographer Marguerite Vacher, to the Black Panther Jean McNair and the resistant Léa Vion, come discover the lives of these women with amazing paths!
Possibility to continue the discovery by visiting the exhibition of the project and archival documents in the premises of Territoires Pionniers.
Visits in groups of up to 20 people (1h30 approx.)
Saturday 19 September at 10:30 am and 2:30 pm
