Exchanges between four personalities from the medical and scientific worlds Meeting proposed by Féminin Pluriel Côte d’Azur Science is not neutral. They observe, measure, care, classify, but they are also crossed by representations, cultural heritages and paradigms that influence their models. How does gender shape scientific research? Are biological and psychic differences given, constructed, interpreted? How have women conquered their place in disciplines long dominated by men? Through four complementary glances, Medicine, Psychiatry and Astrophysics, this meeting will question the way in which the sciences enlighten the feminine… and are enlightened by him.

“Women Composers, Women Musicians: The Forgotten History”
On February 10, Féminin Pluriel Montpellier Méditerranée will have the pleasure of welcoming Frédéric Isoletta, pianist, organist, and educator. A certified agrégé in musicology and certified in art history, he develops a form of musical mediation in which listening, dialogue, and enjoyment are an integral part of the experience.
He will present an illustrated lecture at the piano devoted to women composers—artists who, from the 19th century to the present day, wrote major works while evolving in a world where their place was not recognized.
Through musical excerpts and historical context, Frédéric will revisit these erased trajectories, the social and institutional constraints that weighed upon them, and the ways in which their work is now re-emerging within our musical heritage.
A moment to hear again what was silenced for too long, and to question the place of women in artistic creation.
We are delighted to invite you to a new cultural and inspiring evening, devoted to art, transmission, and passion.
We will have the great pleasure of welcoming you on Tuesday, February 10, at the Warwick, in the company of Xavier Tricot, Belgian art historian, artist, and writer, internationally recognized as one of the foremost specialists on James Ensor.
Born in Ostend in 1955, Xavier Tricot has devoted more than thirty years of his life to the in-depth study of the work and career of James Ensor. Author of the Catalogue raisonné of the Paintings of James Ensor and numerous reference works, he has played a major role in the understanding, recognition, and dissemination of this extraordinary artist’s work.
Curator of many exhibitions devoted to James Ensor in Belgium and abroad, Xavier Tricot combines acknowledged scholarly rigor with an artistic sensitivity nourished by his own practice of painting and poetry.
During this evening, he will speak with passion about James Ensor: his singular life, his bold and visionary work, and his fundamental role as a pioneer of modern art. An informed and vivid perspective on a free and profoundly provocative artist.
