In La Vie gourmande, Aurélia Aurita documents her experience with breast cancer and its treatment through evocative and intimate illustrations, while also reflecting on her gastronomic encounters in a variety of places and social settings. Her work offers an honest reflection on bodies undergoing medical intervention, sparking vital conversations about illness, vulnerability, and the visual representation of women’s bodies in medical contexts.

This presentation will be followed by a Q&A session with the artist.

Please note that the artist's talk will take place in French. Audience questions may be asked in either French or English.

All are welcome to attend this free event, which will be held in person only, in Paris.
