Fleurs de Villes

Introducing Fleurs de Villes FEMMES, an inaugural floral exhibition dedicated to culturally, politically, and historically significant women throughout the ages. Some household names, and some lesser-known, these are women who have had a profound impact on the world we know today. Harbingers of change, rule-breakers and trailblazers, we celebrate these women’s wide-ranging contributions through creative tributes in the form of fresh floral mannequins, each created by some of Sydney's favourite florists.

From August 19 - 28, the FEMMES exhibition will showcase a series of 15 fresh floral mannequins celebrating remarkable women around the world. It will partner with local floral talent who will create these fresh floral tributes based on an inspirational photograph or painting of each woman. Be it superstar and pop culture icon Kylie Minogue, groundbreaking painter Frida Kahlo, or trailblazing Indigenous activist and educator Evelyn Scott, audiences of all ages, cultures and genders will be able to learn more about these fascinating women through interactive displays. Images and QR codes on the floral sculptures will link to immersive profiles of each woman highlighting their cultural and historical significance.
