Pharrell Williams has dropped a new hit in Paris, and this time, it’s not a single, but an art exhibition titled “FEMMES” at Perrotin. Curated by the Grammy award–winning musician, the exhibition features nearly 40 artists, including Carrie Mae Weems, Nina Chanel Abney, and Todd Gray. The show, which includes a range of Black artists, aims to spotlight the influence and narrative of Black womanhood. The exhibition will be on view until April 19th.
The exhibition follows Pharrell’s first showcase with Perrotin, “G I R L,” in 2014, coinciding with his album of the same name. This first showcase paid tribute to femininity, featuring work from 37 artists. “FEMMES,” on the other hand, focuses primarily on the experiences of Black women.
