Exhibition: Badass

Women deserve more than a supporting role. In this exhibition, they take centre stage: as the badass of the comic strip.

On display

Comic strips are often full of tough men saving the world. Women usually play a supporting role.

Alliance Française shows that it can be different. In this exhibition, you’ll meet new comic characters where women are the heroes. The leaders. The Badasses. Wander through CKE and discover their stories along the walls of Café C and the ground floor. Be surprised by powerful images and inspiring stories.

Join the festive opening on Friday 16 January at 11:00.

Your art, our wall

Your work deserves to be seen! Our building is the perfect place for that, with plenty of exhibition space. We give you the opportunity to showcase your work. We create an annual programme that alternates between individual artists, associations, or collaborations with other organisations or students. Pitch your idea and soon raise a glass at the opening of your own exhibition.
