\u2018The Scarlet Women project\u2019 is led and produced by artist Sally Annett and historian of religion Dr Manon Hedenborg White and addresses concepts of the divine and suppressed feminine in her pariah aspects, often unnamed but hidden in plain sight.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project emerges from discussions around the lost narratives of women throughout (religious) history in the West; of why women\u2019s histories and languages, often oral mythologies, craft, agricultural and medicinal practices have not just been lost and altered but destroyed? Over the centuries, the suppressed female creatrix has re-emerged as the Mother of Abominations; Babalon the Great. Often interpreted as courtesan, prostitute, harlot, unmarried mother, the barren wife, the possessed or insane, the crone or witch. Also envisioned in the forms of Kali, Medusa, Mary Magdalene and Eve; the feminine pariah draws power from the transgression of boundaries between perversion and purity; holy and profane.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition offers contemporary imaginings and manifestations of the
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Scarlet Woman\u2019. These take the form of audio-visual installation, photographs, films, prints, paintings, collage, sculpture, text and artefacts as well as a region wide scarlet trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based in the ATELIER MELUSINE in the French town of La Trimouille and the nearby Ch\u00e2teau Mareuil the work presents the Scarlet Women from a female perspective. The exhibition is accompanied by a series of expert lectures, panels and dialogues exploring the iconic feminine form from the Western esoteric, contemporary combined arts and ancient biblical and Talmudic perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project launch also hosts a series of lectures, meditations and discussions over the weekend. For more information, editorial and images please contact: Sally Annett on annett897@btinternet.com<\/a> Link : https:\/\/www.atelierdemelusine.com\/scarlet-women-exhibition<\/a>

14.00 Conference and Round Table event
The Scarlet Woman in Western Esotericism and the Artistic Occulture from the Fin-de-Si\u00e8cle until Today
Panelists: Henrik Bogdan, S\u00f3lveig Gu\u00f0mundsd\u00f3ttir, Margaret Haines
Moderator: Manon Hedenborg White
Zoom link : https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/j\/89149513782?pwd=R3R3TmdNN2NpaExHNGFWemZMcVVQdz09<\/a>
Language : English<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This roundtable takes as its starting point the ways in which the Scarlet Woman \u2013 up until the nineteenth century connoting a prostitute or sexually \u201cimmoral\u201d woman \u2013 has been reinterpreted as an esoteric office, especially within Aleister Crowley\u2019s (1875\u20131947) religion Thelema and among its later adherents. Bringing together experts on Western esotericism and the artistic occulture, this roundtable will explore the shifting meaning of the Scarlet Woman in the intersecting spheres of esoteric and artistic expression from the early twentieth century until today in relation to the changing stakes of femininity, magic, and transgression during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cette table ronde a pour point de d\u00e9part la mani\u00e8re dont la Femme \u00e9carlate – qui, jusqu’au XIXe si\u00e8cle, \u00e9voquait une prostitu\u00e9e ou une femme sexuellement “immorale” – a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9interpr\u00e9t\u00e9e en tant qu’office \u00e9sot\u00e9rique, notamment au sein de la religion Thelema d’Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) et parmi ses adh\u00e9rents ult\u00e9rieurs. R\u00e9unissant des experts de l’\u00e9sot\u00e9risme occidental et de l’occulture artistique, cette table ronde explorera la signification changeante de la Femme Ecarlate dans les sph\u00e8res crois\u00e9es de l’expression \u00e9sot\u00e9rique et artistique du d\u00e9but du vingti\u00e8me si\u00e8cle jusqu’\u00e0 aujourd’hui, en relation avec les enjeux changeants de la f\u00e9minit\u00e9, de la magie et de la transgression durant cette p\u00e9riode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
