Under the galleries of the Cloister, the association Merveilleux Prétexte presents the exhibition of seven women artists.

Seven women artists were asked to question the notions of rituals, festivals, between profane and sacred from the oldest procession of the city of Tulle, the Lunade. Between festival of light and festival of entry into the darkness (summer solstice), this Lunade and its contradictions seemed to them favorable to many aesthetics.
The works of Brigitte Paillet, Charlotte Jude, Hélène Fraysse, Marion Castor, Mathilde Fraysse, Sophie Rigal, Sylvie Christophe will be presented in the Cloister’s outdoor spaces and at the Saint Pierre church from September 1 to November 5, 2022.
