This project came to life thanks to the Association L’Image qui parle, a cultural association led by Patricia Le Calvez. Rooted in the Paimpol area, it is supported by institutions such as the DRAC Bretagne, the CIAS of Guingamp-Paimpol Agglomération, the Departmental Council of Côtes-d’Armor, the CAF of Côtes-d’Armor and the town of Paimpol, along with essential partnerships with the Guingamp-Paimpol gendarmerie and the Association Maison de l’Argoat. It is a collaborative and social approach, bringing together poetry, photography, installation, sound collection and dance!
These creations were born from the need to make women's voices visible in the common space. These creations are the means used to account for the violence suffered by women on a daily basis as well as in their intimacy, by offering them a place of listening and visibility.
These texts, photographs, podcasts and installation were created from testimonies of women from Paimpol and its agglomeration. The texts are hybrid, between narration and poetry, like an analogy.

The installation presents about twenty contemporary dresses suspended at different heights. The dresses feature red velvet pockets, symbolizing intimate and collective wounds, inside which the texts are placed.
Danced Performance: SWEET LURE - SWEET HOUR
Sylvie Le Quéré, choreographer and dancer of the company Grégoire and Co, invites these women to set themselves in motion together, in dance to share, to reclaim through the body the transformation of pain becoming sweetness.
