October 20, 2021 - January 7, 2022, PARIS.
After being exhibited at the Jardins Suspendus in the city of Le Havre from July 10 to September 3, 2021 , the exceptional collaborative project between Le Havre artist Patrice Balvay and a collective of Aboriginal women artists from the community of Haasts Bluff in the desert Central Australia (Ann Lane, Anne Dixon, Daphne Marks, Eileen Anyama Napaltjarri, Eunice Napanangka Jack, Keturah Zimran, and Patricia Multa) is hosted by the Australian Embassy in Paris.
The artist Patrice Balvay and the collective of Aboriginal women artists produced two series of panoramic works, 7 drawings and 7 paintings, in parallel. These works are a topographical, symbolic and emotional transcription - on the model of the Aboriginal "dream" - of an experience of two territories: the city of Le Havre and the Australian desert.
A project initiated by Patrice Balvay, organized in collaboration with IDAIA and the Ikuntji artists' cooperative in Haasts Bluff, in partnership with the City of Le Havre and the Australian Embassy in France, and with the support of SIFA Logistics.
Curated by Patrice Balvay and Solenne Ducos-Lamotte, director of IDAIA, in collaboration with the seven Ikuntji artists participating in the project, Ann Lane, Anne Dixon, Daphne Marks, Eileen Anyama Napaltjarri, Eunice Napanangka Jack, Keturah Zimran, and Patricia Multa; and Chrischona Schmidt, manager of Ikuntji Artists.
