A choreography created by the youth of the Sapiac leisure center where different techniques and urban art are mixed (break dance, contemporary dance, circus, graph…) with as a starting point and as a link the veils of Isadora Duncan. By turns Bourdelle’s muse and creator, Isadora Duncan left a lasting mark on the history of dance.

A journey of reflection and visual, intellectual, spiritual and especially human discovery. From the fruit of a collaboration between a filmmaker and a sophrologist was born a documentary film, a collection of women’s words through themes very dear to the lives of these women of the region and women around the world. Valérie Moëllo, sophrologist, proposes an exchange after the projection of the first part of this film with 12 episodes.

Let’s go back in time…
Here we are for a few moments in the theater of the armies, one evening in 1942 in London. A Russian singer in exile, Anna Marly, improvises a poem encouraging women and men to change the world. A hymn adapted into French, which will become Le chant des partisans.

Academic studies on women’s history are only 50 years old and there is still a lot to discover… Women artists have been bold, but invisibilized until now. Yet in their respective eras, they were very visible. From prehistory to the 20th century, we will discover the journey of many artists who honored their art despite the countless obstacles they faced because they were women. Evelyne Morin-Rotureau, former delegate for Women’s Rights, has popularized the history of women to a wide audience (conferences, theater, cinema, exhibitions, radio). She initiated the Olympe de Gouges Days in Montauban in 2006. She has directed several books published by Autrement, including Françaises en guerre 1914-1918 and Françaises au cœur de la guerre 1939-1945. She created the collection Histoire d’elles for young people (Freynet) and has recently published Sarah Bernhardt l’indomptable and Gisèle Halimi, contre toutes les injustices (Oskar)

A mythological journey through the streets of Montauban, at the side of a rebellious goddess who will fight until the end to have equality between men and women recognized. To be a woman and to be free: such is the requirement of the goddess of nature, of hunting, of births and of the education of teenagers. Daughter of Leto and Zeus, twin sister of Apollo, Artemis chose to live far from Olympus and its intrigues. Her
path, sometimes joyful, sometimes tragic, will cross that of all the characters who gravitate between the world of humans and that of the gods. Characters who are so many facets of the feminine and the masculine, and show us that we can always choose to be who we want to be.

COUNTER-SKIRTS OR THE TOUR OF THE THEATER IN 80 SKIRTS
From 10/02 to 08/04 – Théâtre Olympe de Gouges
In resonance with the show La journée de la jupe
The visual artist Jessica Nodin plays with the word skirt that she examines through the prism of theater from every angle. Drawing part of the absurdities of the
language, she draws in fine the portrait of the absurdities of the existence. Between impertinence, lightness, eroticism, violence and black humor, she invites to the reflection as much as she tries, sometimes perilously, to amuse the gallery…
YELLOW
From 03/03 to 26/03 – Maison du Crieur
An exhibition of collages created around the color yellow. Cut and pasted papers form a harmony of shapes and tones, with sometimes some small embroidery stitches associated.
In this period of pandemic that stretches, in front of the difficulties of the daily life and the uncertainty of the future, we must not forget the power of the color on the retina. The positive vibration produced by the work of art spreads to the brain, the heart suddenly palpitates, the smile rises high. La Grande Mag has enjoyed organizing shapes and spaces since childhood. This practice, almost vital for her, has led her today to develop a multidisciplinary work mixing collages, installations, textile creations and wall paintings,
installations, textile creations and murals. Very observant, with a sense of detail and a taste for color that dances on the retina, the artist creates from patterns, figures and letters assembled. She thus gives birth to soft, poetic and sometimes offbeat compositions.
THE CREATIVITY OF BEING A WOMAN!
From 05/03 to 01/05 – Jardin des plantes
Women’s art has a multitude of facets. Joëlle Faure wished to reveal a part of it through her pictures. Through her eyes as a woman, as an artist and with what she is, she had the opportunity to capture what animates or represents these women, each in their art… The creativity of being a woman.
FOURTEEN
From 05/03 to 05/04 – Around the Old College and the Kiosk
14 women. 14 artistic destinies chosen among many others, 14 strengths having known (or not) how to cohabit with their weaknesses. Enough to inspire the members of Rosendo Li’s drawing workshop at the Maison des Jeunes et de la Culture de Montauban…
