Much of Joana Vasconcelos' work questions the feminine - as a social and political issue. She works with everyday objects and Portuguese craft traditions such as tiles, ceramics, fabric, embroidery and crochet, with lavish explosions of colors and materials.
 
For this exhibition, she chose to invade spaces with a brand new "Valquíria", produced by HDA Var. Joana Vasconcelos has developed in recent years this series of Valquírias, proliferating textile creatures made for different museums, as was the case in 2016 for ARoS Aarhus Art Museum in Denmark.

The exhibition in Toulon also presents more than twenty works realized in recent years by the artist.

Vernissage jeudi 12 juillet à 18h30
