A section of the “Our Veil” exhibition.
Piché, teamed up to present the exhibition titled, “Our Veil,” as part of Nuit Blanche’s Art Souterrain.
The exhibition showcased portraits of a number of different women wearing veils and featured an accompanying description of the women portrayed.
Pâquet explains the purpose of this exhibition was to deconstruct media-conveyed stereotypes of women who wear a veil and instead display a realistic and diversified portrait of these women.
