Femmes du Monde

As a UNESCO Artist for Peace, the traveling painter and former sailor Titouan Lamazou has been crisscrossing the globe since 2001 to meet women with unusual life stories and remarkable destinies. Hailing from diverse cultures and social backgrounds, these women from five continents share their life stories. Here, the most serious events coexist unashamedly with the most trivial memories. Dreamlike elements coexist with an often acute awareness of misfortune. At each encounter, Titouan Lamazou has painted, drawn, and photographed them, producing unique and moving portraits of women that reveal the evolution of our societies. Each film is the story of an encounter between Titouan and one of the “Women of the World.” Created from his work, video footage shot on location, interviews, and texts by Titouan, these films form original portraits where a woman’s testimony intersects with the artist’s perspective.
