J'étais tout simplement passé à côté ! Une exposition importante et merveilleusement documentée sur l'histoire du féminisme, débutant au 19 ème siècle mais prenant sa source au siècle des lumières. Les revendications du mouvement cherchant à promouvoir les droits des femmes et leurs intérêts dans la société civile. Il s'agit avant tout d'abolir les inégalités sociales, politiques, juridiques, économiques et culturelles. Beaucoup de chemin parcourut depuis ces premières batailles engagées, droit de vote, IVG, égalité des salaires (??), But many struggle to lead in this new century has seen some rights violated, the aberrant control of births in many countries and especially forced marriages, female circumcision and rape with impunity. This exhibition presents many unpublished documents, including photographs that reflect the changes in our society.

Coming from Iran, a photographer and visual artist malicious feminist! : Shadi Ghadirian

She ask veiled women with vacuum cleaners or cans of Pepsi: photographer Shadi Ghadirian is famous worldwide for his humorous portraits of Iranian housewives. We publish here excerpts from two of his series, "Like everyday" ("Like every day") and "Ghajar".

Being a photographer in Iran requires finesse. No way to address the problems of Iranian society by ignoring the multitude of prohibitions enacted by the mullahs since the Islamic revolution of 1979. Any reference, however slight it, sexuality is considered a crime under common law. A woman can be photographed without the veil compulsory when it appears in a public space .
© shadi ghadirian

Dans cette série « Ghajar », elle s’en prend spécifiquement à sa société iranienne régie par les lois islamiques datant du VIIe siècle. En s’inspirant des portraits photographiques qui se réalisaient au XIXe siècle en Iran sous l’époque Ghajar, Shadi Ghadirian fait poser ses femmes voilés avec un objet contemporain : poste de radio, aspirateur, cannette de Pepsi Cola... The artist thus reveals the contradictions that remain in knead a society of great complexity. And at the heart of why women decided not to take oneself too as Shadi Ghadirain occupy more space.

01 The Shinto Bride. Self-portrait, 2002

I fled to Japan, because I was dead. I fled to France to escape the grief. One day when I was three, my mother had put me at the door. I left the house carrying a box with all my treasures. I took refuge in a public garden. The police found me there the next day. Since then I've always felt nomad, vagabond, fugitive. When I arrived in France I had to learn the language as a child was born.
With the new meanings that I have won by changing the culture, with the freedom that allow me the language and structures of French thought, I realize now pictures of "married bachelors "where is defeated, but in reverse, the haunting horror of the girl who discovered the ancient bondage of arranged marriage and the fate of Japanese women humiliated. How can we forget the secret of my mother when I was eight years and that made me so much horror? Then I discovered my parents had seen for the first time the wedding day had been arranged entirely by their respective families.
Today, in a succession of figures probably conjuring, I embody a paradoxical married, unmarried and intangible, identity simultaneously dramatic, fictional, subtle, parodic and contradictory. In a kind of excess of what was my experience as a fashion designer in Tokyo, I create all sorts of self-portraits almost monochrome to stage the wedding the bride's virtual single, widowed in turn, cosmonaut, Chinese, manga, Egyptian, etc.. (1).

Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986)

author of " The Second Sex "in the moment of its publication had no audience in France, but after it is published in the United States and will become a classic of feminism. The author's premise: " One is not born a woman, one becomes " emphasizes that not only there is no predetermined feminine nature that would justify sex segregation, but also raises the idea that womanhood and existence as a woman is a struggle. That book is an analysis of how sociological, psychological and economic hierarchy between the sexes. Beauvoir invites women to use their freedom to leave the role of servant and mother.
few quotations from Simone de Beauvoir in the book " The Second Sex":
«Ce ne sont pas les individus qui sont responsables de l'échec du mariage : c'est l'institution elle-même qui est originellement pervertie.»
«Le mystère de l’incarnation se répète en chaque femme ; tout enfant qui naît est un Dieu qui se fait homme.»

«C'est par le travail que la femme a en grande partie franchi la dist ance qui la séparait du mâle ; c'est le travail qui peut seul lui garantir a freedom concrete. "
