Unveiled to mark March 8th, International Women’s Day, Coco-Chantal—not a mannequin—stands as the monument of a seven-day workshop in which young women and girls act as the central protagonists of this participatory project. The approach is rooted in an inclusive, emancipatory art pedagogy anchored in a profoundly dialogical principle. The goal was to challenge societal constraints and shatter the norm of passivity. In this work, creativity was used as a radical tool of liberation to anchor one's own agency within public and artistic spaces. The piece is a direct appeal to see the world through the eyes of young women: vibrant, creative, and unstoppable in their momentum.
