Innovative alliances with French cultural influencers

To take things a step further, Art Explora has teamed up with content producers to design some original content on the topic of women in art in theMediterranean.

• A web series “Women’s Odyssey” with content creator Margaux Brugvin

In tribute to the most mythical of Mediterranean voyages: Ulysses' Odyssey, this series offers an alternative narrative, focused on the female figures created by Homer and their influence on artistic creation since Antiquity.

In four 6-minute videos (in French), you will (re?)discover: the nymphs Circe and Calypso, the goddess Athena, Penelope and also the monsters Charybdis, Scylla and the mermaids.

• Two episodes of La Toile Percée directed by François Bénard
(also known as Louvre Ravioli) on the Louvre museum’s iconic works depicting female figures from the Mediterranean world:
- “Winged Victory of Samothrace”
- “Eliezer and Rebecca”
