For the 7th edition of #DiorLadyArt<\/a> Ghada Amer has reinterpreted the iconic Lady Dior through a feminist lens. She questions the body and the place of women in <\/a>the art world and in contemporary societies through her hybrid oeuvre. Based on the simultaneous use of painting and embroidery- a skill considered eminently feminine- her works, like a vibrant plea, invite women to reappropriate their bodies and their sensuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amer\u2019s Lady Dior reinventions are inspired by her plant sculptures \u2018Women\u2019s Qualities\u2019 (2000) and her series of ceramics sculptures \u2018Thoughts\u2019 (2013). The leather of the bag is adorned with a patchwork of embroidery, precious stones and sequins, and hand-woven tapestry. The words \u201cstrong\u201d, \u201cloving\u201d, \u201cresilient\u201d or \u201cdetermined\u201d are visible evoking the qualities attributed to women, according to Amer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
