The Unloving Dictionary – Exhibition
- When ? From Monday November 21 to Friday December 2, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Inauguration on November 22 at 3 p.m. - Where ? Maison des Associations de Mérignac, 55 avenue du Maréchal-de-Lattre-de-Tassigny
This is an exhibition around a book-object: the “Non-Loving Dictionary”. This book is the work of collaborative work between women victims of domestic violence followed by the CIDFF Gironde and participating in its support group. The “Dictionary of Non-Lovers” allowed these women to express themselves, to put words to their experiences in the violent relationship, but also to bear witness to their path to getting out of the violent relationship and the work of reconstruction that they lead. It responds to their desire to make the general public aware of the reality of the experience of women victims of domestic violence, and to reach other women victims who do not put these words on their situation in order to help them, to support them.
