In 2025, the Villa Datris Foundation invites visitors to discover the work of 64 committed artists from around the world by exhibiting works that explore major contemporary issues. These artists, including feminists, ecofeminists, human rights defenders, anti-racism activists, and advocates for the freedom to control their bodies, are all engaged in struggles that remain essential. The exhibition highlights the invisibility of women and the persistence of their struggles, reminding us how crucial it is to preserve acquired rights.
ENGAGÉES also aims to raise awareness where many battles remain to be fought. Indeed, long ignored and deprived of recognition, women artists have been dominated by patriarchal societies and eclipsed in art history. It wasn't until the social movements and feminist struggles of the 60s that they gained visibility as artists but also as women. This legacy had a profound impact on the artists of the time and those of subsequent generations, paving the way for greater consideration of their demands and their art.
