Since its launch at the Festival de Cannes in 2015, Women In Motion has been shining a light on the creativity and unique contribution made by women in culture and the arts whose work has helped to transform our vision of the world. As the program celebrates the 5th anniversary of its partnership with Les Rencontres d'Arles, Kering is pleased to renew its commitment to the festival for another five years. On Tuesday, July 4, 2023, Kering and Les Rencontres d'Arles will present the Women In Motion Award to the great Brazilian photographer, Rosângela Rennó, during the first soirée at the Théâtre Antique d'Arles. As part of the event, she will present her work and share with the audience her personal journey and her view of women’s place in photography and society in general. A monographic exhibition, supported by Women In Motion, will be dedicated to her at La Mécanique Générale, in Arles.
This is the first major monograph organized in France about the Brazilian photographer. Her previous involvement with Les Rencontres d'Arles had been in 2013, when she received the Historical Book Award for her work on the photographs stolen from the National Library of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro.
Interested in "the way the system tries to erase or manipulate links with the past", the photographer appropriates and transforms archival photographic material into an art installation or a book of photography. Her work is a detailed exploration of time, forgetting, and the social and psychological changes that affect memory.
The Women In Motion Award for Photography, which has celebrated the career of an outstanding photographer every year since 2019, is accompanied by an endowment for acquiring works by the chosen artist for the Rencontres d'Arles collection. It was previously awarded to Susan Meiselas in 2019, Sabine Weiss in 2020, Liz Johnson Artur in 2021 and Babette Mangolte in 2022.
