Curator's Tour: Mémoires des corps

Eleni Zachariou, Assistant Curator at Gasworks, leads an introduction to Marie-Claire Messouma Manlanbien's exhibition Mémoires des corps.

Mémoires des corps is the first UK solo exhibition by Paris-based artist Marie-Claire Messouma Manlanbien. Through textile, drawing, sculpture, video-performance and installation, Marie-Claire’s work explores how ideas of femininity and the cosmos intersect across cultures, generations and materials.

The tour will take place in the gallery, temporary seating provided on request.
