4th edition of the Les Femmes s’exposent festival

This year again, Picto Foundation is renewing its support to the Les Femmes s’exposent festival, which inaugurates its fourth edition on June 8, 2021. For a period of almost two months, you will be able to visit the 15 outdoor exhibitions, in the small town of Houlgate, in Normandy. This event pays tribute to professional women photographers, all genres combined. Irène Jonas was named godmother of this 2021 edition.

The year 2021 began with the sign of resistance, in the hope of a better future. The last twelve months have been destabilizing, critical, sometimes tragic.
So, we mobilized to think, create, and organize this 4th edition of the Les femmes s’exposent Festival – overcoming pitfalls where we did not expect them.
Establishing oneself over the long term is more essential than ever to support the already suffocated world of photography. To continue to discover and make visible many talented women photographers. To honor those who still managed to work despite this very particular context.

In our society under wraps for a year, it is more vital than ever to show the necessity of culture.

The exhibitions, with their diversity of subjects and photographic writings, will offer a world tour to a wide audience and will provide food for escape, to question, compare, feel…

In this historic health crisis, the Les femmes s’exposent Festival is adapting while remaining faithful to its initial intention, to alert people to the lack of parity, and always in a simple and friendly atmosphere.
