Matter in the Feminine

Together, we will explore how women artists are reinventing practices once dismissed as secondary, confined to the domestic sphere: ceramics, textiles, hair, and clothing.

For a long time, these so-called “minor” mediums were reduced to craft tied to feminine labor, intimacy, to the household. Yet today, they are breaking boundaries—opening bold new paths in contemporary art and claiming a powerful place on the international scene and the art market

Clay, thread, hair, fabric… Materials long considered ordinary are shaking the foundations of the art market, entering biennales, and becoming grounds for powerful, intimate, and political expression.

Four artists are both witnesses and protagonists of this shift:

• ANNEAGMA, presented by Galerie SAILLY, who brings ceramics to life, balancing fragility and strength.
• N’dorah, presented by F.R.O.M (Fantastic Republic Of Motherland), who transforms hair into an identity-driven and activist manifesto.
• Ghizlane Sahli, presented by Galerie Christophe Person, who turns thread and sewing into organic architecture.
• Sophia Kacimi, who, through Zoubida, reinvents clothing as a territory of memory and affirmation.

And so what if it is these women who are revolutionizing contemporary art?
This is Matter in the feminine: between heritage and revolution.
