Join us on Thursday, June 26 for an exceptional encounter with Jemima Kulumba, founder of the NGO Women In Art (WIA) and curator of the Biennale of the same name.
WIA (Women In Art) is actively committed to advocating for the recognition of women artists, both in Belgium and internationally. Through the Biennale, as well as exhibitions, panel discussions, and events held throughout the year, Jemima and her team foster a powerful dialogue around the role of women in art history and contemporary creation.
This event will be an opportunity to:
Discover the behind-the-scenes of the Women In Art Biennale, a groundbreaking event in Brussels
Explore the challenges surrounding the visibility of women artists in cultural institutions
Engage in dialogue around activism, building artistic communities, and shaping new narratives
2025 will be decidedly blue. This new year, announced by France as the Year of the Sea, which will host the third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC) in Nice in June, invites us to unite around global ambitions that match the challenges facing our beautiful region—especially the Mediterranean.
Thank you for your commitment alongside Tara Ocean by supporting Le Bal des Rêves, our flagship event of the year, scheduled for Thursday, June 5. On that date, the famous schooner TARA will be on site, and we will organize guided visits for registered participants beforehand.
Le Bal des Rêves supports the cause of ocean protection and the Tara Ocean Foundation.
On May 24th, Féminin Pluriel Montpellier Méditerranée had the pleasure of organizing a charity fashion sale to support the AGNES MCLAREN ASSOCIATION.
It was a warm and joyful moment, celebrating community, elegance, and solidarity. 💞
Thanks to the generosity of our members and supporters, all proceeds will be donated to the Agnes McLaren Medical Prize. This prize rewards a medical thesis focused on the health of women and/or children in vulnerable or precarious situations, and funds a project based on that research.
📅 The award ceremony will take place on September 12th in the afternoon at the Faculty of Medicine in Montpellier and will be preceded by a conference.
Who was Agnes McLaren? 🔎 In 1878, Agnes McLaren became the first woman to graduate as a doctor from the Faculty of Medicine in Montpellier. A Scottish physician and suffragist, she fought for women’s rights and founded the Sainte-Catherine Hospital for women and children in India. Her legacy continues to inspire and support the causes she held dear. To read more about her remarkable life: https://lnkd.in/euBw4PbW
