Guided tour of the exhibition and presentation of street name plates.
From a coast, Norman women who have marked history but whose name has been forgotten , or invisibilise . On the other, public space, with 3% of street signs with names fe minins.
Why don’t we change our eyes?
The collective of the Caen association in ELLES tackles these two problems by affixing 50 plaques of street names in the city center that will light women bound to Normandy. From the first female magistrate Charlotte Be quignon-Lagarde to the Caen photographer Marguerite Vacher, passing by the Black Panther Jean McNair and the sister Le a Vion, come and cover the lives of these women with thunderous paths!
The Caen à ELLES project is hosted at Territoires Pionniers - Maison de l'Architecture where archival documents and photographs by Paulette Urbain, poems by Jean McNair and drawings by France’s first female architect, Juliette Billard, will be exhibited.
