The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York is planning a new exhibition to celebrate overlooked women artists (both historical and contemporary) and show how their creativity has shaped the art world. You have been chosen as curators to design the exhibition. This is your chance to bring a fresh perspective and share your inspirations! You want your exhibition to attract visitors and make them reflect on the impact of women in art.

Curate an exhibition.

• Go online and select a few pieces by one or two marginalised artists.
• Do research about the artists, their career and their place in the art world.
• Describe the works and justify why they should be a part of the exhibition.
• Prepare questions for the other curators about the works they are presenting.

➤ Présenter ses idées et écouter les autres

• Présentez vos choix d'artistes et d'œuvres au groupe. Expliquez pourquoi vous les avez choisis, leurs particularités et leur importance.
• Écoutez attentivement les propositions des autres membres.
• Prenez des notes sur les arguments et idées importantes.

➤ Débattre, argumenter et faire des choix

• Exprimez votre opinion, appuyée par des arguments solides et des exemples précis.
• Réagissez aux idées des autres. Même en désaccord, restez ouvert au dialogue.
• Discutez ensemble pour comparer les propositions.
• Sélectionnez les œuvres à exposer pour créer une exposition cohérente et équilibrée.

➤ Synthétiser et organiser la proposition finale

• Trouvez un titre pour votre exposition.
• Rédigez ensemble un résumé de votre sélection : thème, message et œuvres choisies.
• Planifiez l'organisation de l'exposition : disposition des œuvres, ambiance, supports visuels et sonores.
• Préparez un plan simple des salles et de la scénographie. Cela aidera à visualiser le projet.

Design a slideshow.

• Choose your focus: pick a few women artists whose work and stories you want to showcase.
• Research your artists and artworks: find key information about their life, career, style, and challenges they faced.
• Plan your presentation structure: organise your slides with a clear introduction (why this exhibition matters), main content (artists and works), and a conclusion (why shedding light on women artists is important).
• Write concise, engaging text: keep your descriptions short but informative. Use persuasive language to convince your audience.
• Select visuals carefully: choose high-quality images of the artworks and artists. Make sure they support and enhance your written content.


• Review and edit: check for spelling and grammar mistakes.
