🎉 Celebrating International Friendship Day with an enriching journey through art and history alongside inspiring women! 🎨✨ From exploring ancient wonders to discovering hidden gems in vibrant cities, each moment has been a tapestry of cultural exchange and deepening bonds. Our group travel adventure isn't just about visiting landmarks; it's about forging connections that transcend borders and languages, united by a shared passion for art and a curiosity for the stories behind each masterpiece.

As we navigate through museums, galleries, and picturesque landscapes, we're not just witnessing history but creating our own. Every brushstroke and architectural marvel becomes a catalyst for conversations that weave together personal experiences and diverse perspectives. Together, we're rewriting the narrative of travel, emphasizing camaraderie and the power of female solidarity. Here's to the art of friendship and the endless possibilities that arise when women come together to explore, learn, and inspire each other across continents." 🌍💫

Performing as Juno in Offenbach’s opera, “Orpheus in the Underworld,” was an epic journey! 🎭From the whimsical tunes to the satirical twists, every moment onstage was pure magic. This lampoon of the Orpheus and Eurydice legend, first performed in Paris in 1858, not only entertained but also critiqued the political landscape of its time, with its veiled satire of Napoleon III. Performing in Berlin, surrounded by an international cast, truly made this experience unforgettable. And let’s not forget the iconic Can-can! 💃🏼🎶

Painting her Pleasure: Three Women Artists and the N**e in Avant-Garde Paris
by Lauren Jimerson
Manchester University Press, 2023
https://manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526159830/

This book examines n**es by three women: , and . Working in avant-garde Paris, these artists pioneered modern body imagery, expressing female subjectivity and sexuality in paint. Valadon, Charmy and Vassilieff experimented with the male n**e, Black female n**e, pregnant n**e and n**e self-portrait, a genre which few artists tackled until half a century later. Contextualising their work within and against modernism, drawing parallels with later feminist artists and philosophers, this interdisciplinary book unravels the complexities of early twentieth-century gender regimes and persistent cultural stereotypes, providing an illuminating history of women, sexuality and the body.
