The MAMCO and the Museum of Art and History (MAH) present the opening of two major exhibitions spread across both levels of the Musée Rath. This off-site project, conceived by the MAMCO, establishes an unprecedented dialogue between a monographic retrospective and a contemporary collective endeavor.

The exhibition first pays homage to Sylvia Sleigh (1916–2010), a British pioneer of feminist realism. Through a significant selection of her paintings, the tour traces her commitment to subverting the codes of representation, notably by reversing the traditional gaze upon the male and female body.

Echoing this historical work, the project Refaire collection occupies the second level with a polygraphic and contemporary approach. This second proposal invites a critical and feminist re-reading of the canons of art history, questioning established narratives and the place of women in museums. Together, these two components offer a powerful reflection on visibility, gender, and artistic memory.
