'๐๐ ๐รช๐๐๐๐๐๐ at the Frac-Artothรจque Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
On view through October 31, a monographic focus is dedicated to ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐๐ซ. Composed of a 1928 Lanvin haute couture dress, a single-channel video, photographs, and drawings, ๐๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ข๐ด๐ด๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ draws on archival material to intertwine fact and fiction. Through the story of an ambassador's wife in N**i Germany, ๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐๐ซ examines the relationships between clothing, power, privilege, and historical violence, revealing the dress as both a political object and a witness to history.

'๐๐ ๐รช๐๐๐๐๐๐ inaugurates a long-term curatorial programme at the Frac-Artothรจque Nouvelle-Aquitaine, unfolding in successive chapters through 2027. Drawing on the history of the Charles-Michels buildingโa former department store for textiles, clothing, and accessoriesโthe exhibition explores garments as markers of identity, labour, memory, migration, and resistance, examining the many ways clothing shapes our individual and collective histories.
