  • BABOUCHES AND WOMEN AT SOLAR CONDES DE RESENDE

    BABOUCHES AND WOMEN AT SOLAR CONDES DE RESENDE

    The Shoe Museum exhibition, "Babouches and Women", opens on October 21st at Solar Condes de Resende, in Vila Nova de Gaia. This exhibition aims to raise a new alert for the increasing acts of violence imposed on Arab women by historically fundamentalist, patriarchal and sexist societies. Curated by Renata Carneiro, the exhibition was presented to the public in 2013 and then toured in Portugal and France until 2016. In 2021, the Footwear Museum hosted this exhibition, part of the "Shoes that think" Project and, the following year, most of the works were donated and incorporated into our collection. In 2023 "Babuchas and Women" begins a new path, that of a traveling exhibition. An exhibition-installation that relaunches the invitation to reflection and discussion about the role of Women and their Rights in contemporary society. The exhibition will be open until December 31, 2023. ------------------------------- [About the exhibition] "Babouches and Women" arose from a desire to express a feeling towards women, more specifically, Arab women. Demonstrating their role in today’s society, their customs, their thoughts, whether free or not, the use of scarves or burqas, served as a starting point for the creation of this collective project which, in this way, invites questioning and comparison of that with the western woman. Based on this principle, 19 Portuguese and Spanish women artists were invited, each with a particular point of view on the subject, to intervene on a pair of men’s babuchas, footwear used within a traditional Arab family and which, in this context, is intends for them to personify Man." | Renata Carneiro
