Heroines of History
Heroines of History by Ariane Bourneville , 2024
This project celebrates the lives and legacies of influential women throughout history, presented through a series of meticulously crafted large cards. Each card, encased in a luxurious leather case with gold gilding, features detailed designs and symbolic elements that tell the stories of these heroines. The accompanying book enriches the visual experience with narratives of each woman's life, inspirational messages, and explanations of the symbols. Extending beyond the cards, the designs are also featured on printed T-shirts, with a series of colours determined by the colour scheme of each woman featured, displayed on the back of the shirts. By blending historical accuracy with artistic craftsmanship, this collection invites viewers to engage in a tactile and visual dialogue, exploring the profound impact of these women on our world. The exhibition serves as a tribute to their courage, passion, and contributions, inspiring a new generation to aspire for greatness.
