From Medieval Women to Contemporary Works

RÉVÉRENCE is an artistic and cultural project dedicated to the feminine figures of medieval Normandy. It brings together a collection of contemporary works created by artists, craftspeople, and medievalists, presented at several heritage sites in the region.

The project offers a renewed reading of this history by highlighting influential women, often absent from collective memory. A collaborative approach, conducted over more than two years, combines historical research and contemporary creation to reveal varied portraits of autonomous, active, and decisive figures.

Based on these narratives, the artists develop a corpus of original works that blend jewelry, sculpture, cabinetmaking, and leatherwork. These sensitive and demanding forms translate a contemporary interpretation of historical trajectories and create an ensemble that is both poetic and embodied.
