Programme
Anna Leonte Loron - Women Are Hungry
Eating and cooking are sources of pleasure. In Women Are Hungry, Anna Leonte Loron starts from this simple premise to reveal everything that remains deeply conflicted within contemporary female experience. While food evokes the senses, sensuality, and desire, it is also, for many women, intertwined with histories of deprivation, control, guilt, and inherited silences. In the collective imagination, women are still predominantly depicted in the kitchen or serving others, but rarely seated at the table themselves. And when they do eat, it is either sparingly — in keeping with the codes of discreet femininity — or in a spectacularized way, through imagery that diverts the act of eating for the benefit of the gaze that consumes it.
The exhibition brings forth images largely absent from our collective imagination: women eating, alone or among sisters, always for their own pleasure. Loosely inspired by Lauren Malka’s essay Mangeuses, the project explores what it means, for a woman, to eat for herself.
