The Power of My Hands demonstrates the ability of artists to address, from their personal backgrounds, the social issues that determine the female condition. Through the themes of the body, sexuality, self-representation, motherhood and beliefs, the exhibition examines how the question of intimacy among black women reveals what has not been said and manifests its relationship to the world. It offers a reflection where the notions of memory, family, spirituality and imagination are intertwined. The artworks presented - painting, pottery, photography, video, performance, embroidery, etc. - celebrate the emancipatory energy of the «power in their hands».

Bady Dalloul is a franco syrian artist born in 1986 and based in Paris. After studying art history at the Sorbonne University, he joined the Ecole Supérieure d’Art et de Design d’Amiens for three years. In 2011, he entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris where he studied in the studios of Vilmouth and Bustamante. He graduated in 2015 with greatest honors from the jury.
His work, imbued with a political, sociological and historical dimension, confronts and creates a dialogue between the imaginary and the real, questioning the logic of the writing of History. His work sophisticatedly and cunningly employs collages across various media: textes, drawings, video, and objects, that imply a fabrication of a space that is simultaneously autobiographical, critical and poetic to create narratives, where reality and fiction, individual and collective experiences enter into a permanent dialogue questioning the official historical grand narratives.
Bady Dalloul’s work has been exhibited in Palais de Tokyo (2020) ; CCA of Lagos, Nigeria ; Darat al Funun Foundation in Jordania (2019) ; Institut du Monde Arabe ; Gulbenkian Foundation (2018) ; MAC/VAL (2017), etc. His work is also collected in French public collections, such as MAC/VAL, Kadist Foundation, Frac Ïle -de-France, Institut du Monde Arabe and Frac Champagne-Ardennes.
Thanks to the International Circle MENA of the amis du Centre Pompidou, two artworks by Bady Dalloul have been gifted to the Musée National d’art moderne - Centre Pompidou ; A country without a door or a window # 2, 2016-2020 and the video Belize, 2019.
