From September 21 to February 16, the Charleroi Museum of Fine Arts will host a unique exhibition: "Si le cœur vous en dit. Women Artists in 20th Century Belgium."

This exhibition, along with the accompanying publication, aims through a selection of works, explanatory texts, mediation efforts, and scientific articles, to shed light on the conditions of artistic production (and non-production) of women in 20th-century Belgium, from education to career, and thus attempts to contribute to a still-needed rebalancing.

This exhibition not only showcases the works of women artists but also places them in context through in-depth research, exploring the creation conditions of these artists in 20th-century Belgium. It also highlights the strategies these women adopted to assert themselves in the art world of that time.
