Magic Filter (Filtre Magique) is a participatory, evolving and itinerant exhibition project that questions the scarcity of female role models in history. The project consists of a collection of drawn portraits of various little-known or historically forgotten female personalities, to be revealed with a torch. Since its first exhibition in 2022, the project has grown out of proposals made by the public and through various local initiatives.
