Derrière les chiffres exhibition

Show & Culture

The refreshment area at Centre sportif John-Scheuren hosts Derrière les chiffres…, an exhibition provided by Maison Sichem of Fondation Maison de la porte ouverte. In collaboration with the collective Nous toutes Lyon, illustrator Fanny Vella created a series of black-and-white portraits of women who were victims of femicide. Her message is simple and deeply moving: behind every statistic is a woman, a daughter, a friend, with her strengths, her flaws and a life taken from her. Nearly fifty works make up this tribute, accompanied by videos presenting the project and the FMPO shelters for women in distress. The exhibition is part of Orange Week. Every year, from 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to 10 December, Human Rights Day, the world turns orange.
