About

The exhibition Les Femmes et les Corps features works by 15 women artists at the Le Bonheur est dans l’Instant gallery in the 11th arrondissement. Using painting, drawing, photography, video, and installations, this showcase examines the human body in its rawest form, moving away from idealized standards. You can visit from Tuesday, October 20 to Saturday, October 24, 2026, between 14:00 and 19:00. Admission is completely free, and the venue is fully accessible to visitors with motor, sensory, or cognitive disabilities.

With "Women and Bodies", the Le Bonheur est dans l’Instant gallery brings together 15 female artists around a single subject: the body, in all its complexity.

Painting, drawing, photography, video, and installation offer very different perspectives and challenge the usual ways of representing the body today.

The exhibition rejects simplistic definitions and ideals of perfection. It makes room for lived experience, transformation, vulnerability, resistance, and truth.
