Shalini Passi Instagram – FEMMES | GROUP SHOW – CURATED BY PHARRELL WILLIAMS | PERROTIN PARIS, 2025
Perrotin presents FEMMES, a group exhibition curated by Pharrell Williams, showcasing nearly 40 artists. It ambitions to spotlight these luminaries while advocating for greater visibility and equity—inviting everyone in. From G I R L in 2014 to FEMMES today, the title is now plural and translated into French, with a focus on the multifaceted nature of Black womanhood.
FEMMES reflects Pharrell’s eclectic taste and unique aesthetic equation, weaving together influences orbiting around diverse creative poles. It pays homage to the ground laying work of African American inheritance- both material and spiritual.
Curated by Pharrell Williams and hosted by Emmanuel Perrotin’s Parisian gallery, this exhibition builds on and expands from their past common endeavors, including the 2008 design exhibition Perspectives, which introduced Pharrell to Perrotin’s world and sparked an artistic dialogue between him and Takashi Murakami, Laurent Grasso, Sophie Calle and Daniel Arsham among others. It also follows the success and focus of the 2014 group show G I R L at Perrotin Paris, inspired by Pharrell’s eponymous hit album.
