Person «ELLES» Manifestos is an organic exploration of identities and activism, channeled into art that is candid, honest, and provocative.

Assimilating multi-disciplinary perspectives from China, Syria, and Mexico, Person «ELLES» Manifestos is a collective reflection on a universal topic – how women’s bodies are represented in art, since the era of Eve to today.

Taking place Fall 2022 in Paris, this visual art exhibition blends diverse yet converging narratives that explore gender issues, female emancipation, politics, war, societal hierarchies, and human empathy in order to re-interpret the female body, or parts of it, as cornerstones to provide alternative perspectives. By breaking away from the traditional conception of the female body as a passive receptacle for male desire, the artists in Person «ELLES» Manifestos actively liberate and reclaim the female body, infusing it with new meanings so it may express strong political and social beliefs. 

Art activism has multiple expressions – from the loudest perspectives to the most subtle ones, from the socially engaged rallying cries to the more individual, intimate portraits. 

Person «ELLES» Manifestos is not only limited to the participating artists’ artistic statements. We open the debate and create space for all visitors not only to experience, but to express their own manifestos.  We are excited to welcome you on this journey.
