Group portrait.

Monstera collectif is an art collective composed of Delphine Dénéréaz, Opale Mirman, Bridget Low and Léna Gayaud. Each with an individual artistic approach, Monstera is a meeting ground for their work. All inhabited by questions linked to crafts and so-called domestic art, they interrogate tales and folklore by investing the spaces entrusted to them. They revisit craft techniques historically used to tell stories, from pottery and tapestry to basse-lisse and ceramics. These are all so-called domestic arts, giving them a feminine status. By reappropriating these skills, they are reclaiming a whole new power, not only questioning the places where they live, but also restoring sovereignty to those who have always occupied them.
