Women House Ep. 1 (EN) - Writing by Marguerite Duras, chosen by Camille Morineau

In 1972 the exhibition Woman House marked a pivotal  moment in the history of feminist art. Women artists, excluded from  galleries and museums, decided to take over an abandoned house in Los  Angeles to create feminist art works and performances, to alert the art  world of the profound inequality between genders.  Almost forty years later, the exhibition Women House that  took place at the Monnaie de Paris in 2016 focused on the way in which  women artists explored representations of the home, the domestic sphere  and architecture. There, several generations of feminist artists were  brought together.  In spring 2020, the cofounders of AWARE Camille Morineau, curator of the exhibition Women House  at the Monnaie de Paris, and writer Julie Wolkenstein, have created the  podcast in response to the confinement imposed by the COVID-19  pandemic.  In the first episode of Women House, director and cofounder of AWARE Camille Morineau chose five excerpts from a text that is particularly dear to her: Writing [Écrire] by Marguerite Duras.   AWARE is a non-profit organization co-founded in 2014 by Camille Morineau. AWARE’s podcast Women House is made possible by the support of Belinda de Gaudemar. Produced by Elodie Royer. Sound by Andrew Nelson. The english version of this episode is read by Muriel Zagha.   Picture credits : Marguerite Duras on the set of the movie Écrire [Writing], directed by Benoit Jacquot, 1993, © Helene Bamberger/Opale / Bridgeman Images Hébergé par Ausha.
