Laure Ledoux


At the Villa Pérochon
9 November - 15 February 2025
Opening 8 November at 6.30pm


The result of a residency in the Poitou-Charente region on the theme of women's sport in rural areas, this exhibition offers a visual approach combining several photographic techniques and textile creation. For a year, Laure Ledoux went out to meet women practising a wide range of sports, both amateur and at a very high level. From mermaiding to para-archery, Super-Kop-Ter supporters to rowing, come and discover the committed practices of these women through a colourful and offbeat vision.
